With the continuous advancement of mobile phone technology, the " inverter " of various manufacturers in mobile phone photography has become more and more intense in recent years. This has also made considerable progress in the current mobile phone's photography ability and level, which has also made people begin to compare mobile phones with SLR cameras.
Query Qualcomm Vice President Judd Heape said in an interview with the media that Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology will help smartphones completely surpass SLR cameras in the next three to five years.
Judd Heape believes that AI has four stages to promote the development of images. The first stage of
- is the first step, starting in 2018 to assist in identifying people, animals, scenery, etc. in the picture; the second stage of
- , AI can assist in focusing (eye focus), assisted metering and white balance, etc. according to the subject; the third stage of
- , AI technology can change the shooting effect according to the scene, and achieve better effects smarter according to the subject being shot. For example, the night may not be brightened, the food may not be oversaturated, and the portrait may not be skinned; the fourth stage of
- , AI will be more involved in shooting and effect presentation, and at this stage, artificial intelligence will be able to process the entire image.
Currently, mobile phone images have entered the third stage, and it will take 3-5 years to evolve to the fourth stage. This fourth stage means that mobile phone photography completely surpasses SLR (microscopic).
He claims that the processing power available in the smartphone is a significant advantage compared to SLR cameras. Despite the smaller sensors of the device, Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor in smartphones makes its camera more powerful, which will play a huge role in smartphones surpassing SLRs. He believes that the image sensor in the phone is good enough to make mobile photography surpass the SLR.
Tails do you think mobile phones can surpass SLRs in the next few years?
