Development of an AI-powered photobooth system at Bonjour Lab, which was deployed in stores and at festivals, and would generate a portrait of the user in the style of Ray Ban 2024’s collaboration campaign with Lenny Kravitz. My role was implementing the AI engine used for portrait creation. We ran some benchmarks to find the algorithm which best handled gender, age, and skin tones. The inferences and post-processing required that processing times were reasonable as well. Once the generation pipeline was set, we produced an AI engine using the Hugging Face’s diffusers framework and, with the other developers Max and Pierrick, we created a communication pipeline between the interface and the AI engine on AWS using S3 Buckets and SQS Queues. We’ve also Dockerized the server so that multiple instances can be launched depending on the amount of requests.
