Using AI on old photos

One challenge we have with documenting the historic high street is that because the street is so narrow most old photos are taken looking up or down the street rather than flat on.  
 

we are using AI (an app called Snapseed) to correct this perspective. We start with the original image, then crop to the individual property. 
 

We turn off ‘smart fill in’ to make it more obvious that the image has been manipulated. 
 

Then, in most cases, we can use the auto feature to do the work. 

We then credit all photos and then add each one 

original

cropped

perspective altered 

to the article so that comparisons can be made
