Google and MIT's AI can fix your phone snaps in real time
Retouching smartphone snaps after taking them could soon be a thing of the past. *** Google has a new image-processing algorithm that builds on an MIT cloud-based system. *** MIT's system, developed in 2015, sends a low-res image to the cloud for processing. *** It returns a tailored 'transform recipe' to edit the high-res image stored on a phone. *** Google is using machine learning to train a neural network to do what MIT's system did. *** The company's new algorithm is now efficient enough to move image processing to a phone. *** Google tested this on a Pixel phone, and it rendered a 12MP image in 61 milliseconds. *** Google also said its algorithm delivers a better viewfinder with less battery impact. *** Computational photography has been limited on phones due to power constraints and more. *** But Google and MIT just presented their computational photography work in a joint paper. *** "This paper may provide us with a way to sidestep these issues," Google said.
