This weekend, a Reddit user revealed what could be a false feature of mobile phones. Samsung high quality and spectacular photos on Moon.
According to the thread, the company is misleading customers with this feature. SpaceZoom 100X with which users can take photos of the star: in fact, Samsung overlays textures taken from databases to improve the image.
False propaganda or misleading the user?
publication ibreakphotos Give a simple example to demonstrate this.
On his monitor, he opened the image Moon to which the resolution has been reduced to a minimum, looking very washed out.
So what’s up with your samsung galaxy S23opened the camera and used SpaceZoom take photos of this image, seeing how the phone has applied a layer of textures and filters to show the details Moon that they could not be seen in the example.
“Samsung uses AI/ML (a neural network trained on hundreds of images from Moon) to extract/add a moon texture to your moon images, and while some people think it’s a camera feature, it really isn’t.”
Report Samsung
The purpose of the thread is to condemn Samsung for deceptive marketing.
The publication is referenced in an article in which the company states that SpaceZoom capture multiple frames in seconds and use artificial intelligence to fine-tune details.
“This is not about computer photography: this is about inserting images that simply do not exist,” the comments say.
Samsung He has not yet responded to the accusation.
Image Enrichment Algorithms
Camera image enhancement is not a new problem. In fact, it is a useful tool that, based on image detection algorithms, adjusts a number of visual parameters that optimize the final result, what we call “image post-processing”, which today includes everything from smartphones to interchangeable lens cameras.
However, the Samsung case brings us back to one of the most important precedents in the industry. In April 2019, Huawei was at the center of controversy over the “Moon Mode” of its recent 50x zoom P30 Pro with a new periscope imaging system that several Android models are currently based on.
The controversy arises from the fact that the user does not capture the beauty of the moon. Instead, according to various media interpretations, the user will take a picture of the Moon, which is then slightly modified with artificial elements to make it look like they took a beautiful photograph of our satellite.
Huawei defended itself at the time, noting that “Moon Mode works on the same principle as other AI master modes in that it recognizes and optimizes image details to help people take better photos. This does not replace the image in any way; this will require an unrealistic amount of memory, since the AI mode recognizes more than 1300 scenarios. Based on machine learning principles, the camera recognizes the scene and helps optimize focus and exposure to improve details such as shapes, colors, and highlights and shadows. This feature can be easily turned on or off while taking a photo. Even though there is a Moon mode, you can still take photos without the AI mode due to the periscope lens.
