How Computational Photography Is Making Your Photos Better. by Abiodunspectre(m): 5:44pm On Apr 18, 2020
Phone cameras have undergone huge improvements in recent years, but they've done so without the hardware changing all that much. Sure, lenses and sensors continue to improve, but the big developments have all been in software. So-called computational photography is using algorithms and even machine learning to stitch together multiple photos to yield better results than were previously possible from a tiny lens and sensor.

Smartphones are limited by physics. With a small sensor, narrow lens aperture and shallow depth, there are serious challenges in designing an improved phone camera. In particular, these mini cameras suffer from noise -- digital static in the images -- particularly in low light. Combine this with limited dynamic range, and you've got a camera that can perform pretty well in bright daylight, but where image quality starts to suffer as the light dims.

To work around this, companies have had to get creative. The biggest advances have all come from ways to stack or combine multiple images in the phone. Depending on how many images are stacked, and how clever the algorithms, this technique can be used to reduce noise, boost the tonal range, take clear shots in the dark, or even artificially boost resolution.

These techniques were known to photographers, and they're doable in programs like Photoshop, but the success of computational photography is having all these tricks happen seamlessly and nearly instantaneously, inside your phone. All you have to do is click the shutter, and the software handles the rest.

What's your reason for saying that?? I picked the phone because of the TAIVOS technology that came with it. It's a good example of Computational Photography technology.

have you reviewed the "TAIVOS technology"? how effective/ efficient is it? even if it's good(which I highly doubt) it's functionality will be impaired by the processor in the phone

GCam is a better example "TYPHOID" is just beautification effect




GCam can't work on tecno phones and that's bad news for "affordable people"

a crappy phone is a phone that has an almost-low end chipset (Which you can't get any life out of) as it's CPU in an era where some comfortable mid range chipsets are struggling to keep up with tasks.
no fast charge
no USB type-C
gorilla glass 3
plastic frame
can't shoot 4K videos even with a "64MP " Camera
can't be updated beyond the out-of-the box software.
for a sum of 95,000 naira

so, I've answered you

I want to engage you. Do you have knowledge of what you posted or you copy and pasted as received?
I want everyone to be enlightened on the issue you raised and no better way to do it than to have a discussion and debate with someone like me who will leave no stone unturned to expose the lie in your claims... So are you ready to prove you are knowledgeable in what you have claimed and not just trying to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians....

Does it mean that the Computational photography is quite different from the regular photography?
