The car industry needs clarity beyond the surface. A blurred point in a car inspection photo can mean delay and doubt. The pixelated representation of an engine in a service manual can mean delay and doubt. The low resolution in a car sales brochure can mean delay and doubt. Dreamina offers the solution in the form of image upscale software. With Dreamina, image upsampling and clarity can be achieved without having to reshoot a photo or rely on complicated software.
In this tutorial, you will find effective, practical methods on how the images of automobiles can be improved when inspected, documented, and presented, using an AI-assisted workflow that is suitable for the quick-paced automotive industry.
The day car visuals lost their horsepower
Blurry images creep into automotive processes much more frequently than one might think. A cellphone snapshot taken during a vehicle inspection. A scanned service layout that has been saved with incorrect resolution. A showroom photo that has been reused countless times and has lost fidelity with Copy Number Whatever.
-In the automobile industry, this may result in:
- More difficult inspection photos
- Sales collateral that looks dated or untrustworthy
- Technical training literature that confuses rather than assists technicans
Clarity is all about accuracy in the images, not about making the cars in the photos dramatic or over-edited in the images. The vision is to create visuals as reliable as the vehicles themselves.
Why the realities of the automotive industry mean that AI-based restoration is necessary
Car manufacturer teams usually have a tight turnaround. Cars pass rapidly through inspection stations. Cars cannot necessarily be photographed over again. Existing documentation is still required. The marketing teams reuse assets.
A "middle ground" solution emerges in image restoration with AI-based image restoration. This enables a team to enhance something that already exists, instead of starting from scratch.
This method is effective because it:
- Upgrades existing car pictures, scans, and schematics
- Adds sharpness without manual editing
- Assists in preserving visual quality, whether in digital form or hard copies
As long as it is used properly, AI is effectively a silent helper - one that promotes clarity and does nothing to alter the ‘real' look of the vehicle
Where clear car images matter most beyond the showroom
Whereas marketing visuals may take center stage, clarity is a priority throughout the entire automotive life cycle.
- Inspections/Reports: Better pictures enable clear documentation of any wear & tear/repairs done.
- Customer communication: Customer communication can be facilitated by the use of visuals in the customers' communication processes to
- Training & documentation: Generally, old technical illustrations can be updated without having to completely redo manuals
- Branding & outreach: Excellent visualizations establish consumer trust for websites, brochures, & social media sites
It can even benefit content that is intended for online delivery, such as car tutorials optimized for advertisements, landing pages, or a YouTube thumbnail maker when sharing tutorial videos.
The ethics of enhancement: What AI must and must not do
In car visuals, improvement must never border on deception. The aim is visibility and never modification. This particular point is crucial, and it's even more important because AI tools are usually lumped together in a group that also includes far more controversial applications, such as deepfake AI tool.
A responsible image enhancement process will always:
- Sharpen and enhance resolution
- Maintain original proportions, colors, and characteristics.
- Be sure to maintain accuracy regarding damage and components
It must never:
- Include features not available before
- Eliminate defects or damage from inspection images
- Enhance/Alter the visual truth of the vehicle
When done with this mindset, AI restoration builds trust instead of breaking it.
From blur to brilliance: Dreamina's 3-step clarity quest
Step 1: Upload your blurry car image
Now, log in to your Dreamina account and open Canvas so that you are in your workspace. Click on "Upload image" and upload your image of the car, whether it is impacted by motion blur, light, focus, or shake. Note that for these exercises, you want to upload the best image available so that the AI has a chance to recover images properly.
Step 2: Applying Repair Tools
After that, you can upload your image, select Retouch in case you want to sharpen your edges, or apply Creative Upscale if you want to upscale your resolution. For you to have the best processing outcomes, it is recommended that you merge both processes.
Step 3: Download your enhanced image
You will know that the enhancement is complete when you click the Download button and then choose to save it in either JPEG or PNG format. The enhanced image will then be ready for whatever use you intended.
Optimizing restored car graphical content
Once the point of clarity has been addressed, think about more than the singular use. Automotive imagery has several usages, in fact.
An improved image may be:
- Mentioned in vehicle condition report
- Included with a sales presentation or listing
- Printed for service bays or customer consultations
Consistency is key. Inspecting images, printed marketing, and online marketing that have the same level of photo quality gives an overall sense of professionalism, dependability, and humanity to your brand.
A quick reality check before you share
Though possible with the help of AI, human evaluation is still required. Before finalizing and/or distributing images:
- Compare enhanced images to original images.
- Check if any information has been changed or distorted.
- Compliance with company and statutory documentation requirements
Final check to ensure technology does not stray from responsibility
Clear images, clearer decisions. When it comes to unclear images in the automotive scene, it can never come between customers and confidence.
With a well-considered workflow and the tools from Dreamina's AI solutions for the automotive field can restore clarity to existing images and save resources. Right from inspection to sales communication, get clearer image results in seconds with Dreamina!
