Samsung's Space Zoom feature for Galaxy phones has come under the microscope (or perhaps the telescope) again this week, after a Reddit post claimed that the software process involves the fabrication of additional detail . Samsung has now responded to the allegations, and disputed the claims in the form of an official quote a new blog post (opens in new tab) . We asked Samsung directly if moon photos taken using phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra involve the overlaying of additional detail or texture that isn't present in the original photos. In an official statement, Samsung said: "When a user takes a photo of the Moon, the AI-based scene optimization technology recognizes the Moon as the main object and takes multiple shots for multi-frame composition, after which AI enhances the details of the image quality and colors. It does not apply any image overlaying to the photo". Samsung added that this process isn't compulsory, stating that "users can deactivate the … [Read more...] about Samsung denies that its S23 Ultra Space Zoom moon photos are fake

If you take a photo of the moon on a Samsung device, it will return a detailed photo of the moon . Some people are mad about this. The issue is that Samsung's software fakes some details the camera can't really see, leading a Reddit user called ibreakphotos to accuse the company of "faking" moon photos. The user's post claims to be able to trick Samsung's moon detection, and it went viral enough that Samsung's press site had to respond . Samsung's incredibly niche "Moon Mode" will do certain photo processing if you point your smartphone at the moon. In 2020, the Galaxy S20 Ultra launched with a " 100x Space Zoom " (it was really 30x) with this moon feature as one of its marketing gimmicks. The mode is still heavily featured in Samsung's marketing, as you can see in this Galaxy S23 ad , which shows someone with a huge, tripod-mounted telescope being jealous of the supposedly incredible moon photos a pocketable Galaxy phone can take. We've known how this feature works … [Read more...] about Moon-gate: Samsung fans are mad about AI-processed photos of the moon

Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 series may have a new feature allowing the phones to boost the visual quality of videos, similar to Photo Unblur on the Pixel 7 Pro . It’s called Video Unblur and it was first discovered by the team over at 9to5Google (opens in new tab) who dug through the APK file (Android Package Kit) of the latest version of Google Photos. They were able to forcibly enable the user interface for Video Unblur on the app. However, the team couldn’t get it to work. According to the report, the tool currently doesn’t have any “noticeable effect on videos'' as it’s probably still in development. But once it does launch, 9to5Google states the tool should work just like Photo Unblur by utilizing machine learning to spruce up videos shot on a Pixel 8 phone – probably. The report adds that there’s nothing in the APK’s code directly tying Video Blur to Pixel phones. But if history repeats itself, the software could follow the same trajectory as Photo Unblur by … [Read more...] about Google Photos could soon bring its AI editing tricks to your videos

Les mois passent et nous nous rapprochons de plus en plus du lancement du Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 - mais selon un informateur bien placé, l'appareil photo principal du pliable ne sera pas différent de celui que nous avons sur le modèle actuel. Cette information provient d' Ice Universe (s'ouvre dans un nouvel onglet) , une source qui a l'habitude de faire des prédictions précises en matière de téléphonie mobile. Selon cette source, il est "impossible d'utiliser le HP2 " dans le Galaxy Z Fold 5. Ce "HP2" fait référence au capteur ISOCELL HP2 de 200MP de Samsung, que la société a réussi à intégrer dans le Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra . Ce que nous ne savons pas, c'est pourquoi cela est "impossible" sur le Z Fold 5 - peut-être des restrictions d'espace physique, ou un autre problème d'ingénierie. Galaxy Z Fold5 will continue to use the same camera module as Fold4. It is impossible to use HP2.

Les photos produites par la fonction Space Zoom de Samsung sur les smartphones Galaxy ont été à nouveau examinées à la loupe cette semaine, après qu'un message Reddit a affirmé que le processus logiciel impliquait la fabrication de détails supplémentaires. Samsung a répondu à ces allégations et les a contestées. Nous avons demandé à Samsung si les photos de la Lune prises avec des téléphones tels que le Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra impliquent la superposition de détails ou de textures supplémentaires qui ne sont pas présents dans les photos originales. Dans un communiqué officiel, Samsung a déclaré : "Lorsqu'un utilisateur prend une photo de la Lune, la technologie d'optimisation de la scène basée sur l'IA reconnaît la Lune comme l'objet principal et prend plusieurs photos pour une composition multi-images. L'IA améliore ensuite les détails de la qualité et des couleurs de l'image. Elle n'applique pas de superposition d'images à la photo". Samsung a ajouté que ce processus n'était … [Read more...] about Galaxy S23 Ultra : Samsung réfute les accusations de fausses photos de la Lune
