ailia Inc. & Axell Corporation Deep learning framework “ailia SDK”

ailia SDK, developed by ailia Inc. & Axell Corporation, used in Smart Smoothing feature in Clip Studio Paint

(September 2019)

The Smart Smoothing feature in Clip Studio Paint uses an AI module developed by Celsys, as well as the deep learning framework “ailia SDK” developed and distributed by ailia Inc. and Axell Corporation.

Smart Smoothing uses AI (deep learning) technology to reduce jaggies and noise caused by changing the resolution of images or resizing images. It can be used to clean up low-resolution images created as web content so that they can be printed, or to smoothen lines that have been blurred by transformation (increased size).
