Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) posted the following to its official blog on Wednesday:
We all want that amazing photo – of our kids, our friends, ourselves, and we want to take it with our smartphone. To get it, most of us click the shutter and hope for the best. All too often, the result is disappointment: eyes shut, faces blurred, heads turned, no smiles.
The Computational Photography Group within Microsoft’s research organization released an iPhone app on Wednesday that changes the playing field. It puts the skill of a professional photographer in your pocket.
Microsoft Pix captures a burst of 10 frames with each shutter click – some from before the tap – and uses artificial intelligence to select up to three of the best, unique shots. Before the remaining frames are deleted, the app uses data from the entire burst to remove noise, and then intelligently brightens faces, beautifies skin and adjusts the picture’s color and tone. These best, enhanced images are ready in about a second.
