The cause of the matter is this...
The brother went downstairs today to get the courier, which was only a matter of three minutes, but the sky was not beautiful, it actually rained.
The machine brother without an umbrella can only hide under the eaves of the roadside and messy.
Looking at the lush trees on the side of the road, I suddenly touched the idea of capturing the details of the brother, so I grabbed the mobile phone and clicked.
But this is a picture taken... How stunned is a look that is not quite right.
The friends also came to help me Kang Yikang:

It doesn't feel right, right?
So I took out the spare machine iPhone X and took a picture.
Good guys, do you believe that they are all iPhones, will the gap be so big?
(iPhone X photo)
Let's not talk about the detail preservation, just talk about the leaves taken by the iPhone 12 mini, can you see the feeling of spring? I can't see it anyway.
On the contrary, the iPhone X is very in place, whether it is green leaves or the hazy feeling in the rain. Across the screen, you can feel that the whole world is wet.
Although the old flagship is not as good as a dog, 13 out after 12 crotch pulls can not be counted, but even the iPhone X born 3 years earlier can not beat, it is outrageous...
So what is the situation in the end, the machine brother carefully compared it, in fact, 12 mini regardless of the aperture or the bottom compared to the iPhone X is almost "crushed".
So, it must have been something that pulled the crotch for 12 mini for the final image.
The brother finally determined that the culprit was this guy: "deep integration technology".
What is "deep integration"?
In simple terms, the moment the shutter is pressed, the iPhone will take 4 short exposure photos and then 4 standard exposure photos.
Finally, a long exposure photo is taken to obtain the shadow details, and then the AI screens out the good parts of each of the 9 photos to form a photo, and finally obtains a photo with extremely high detail.
One-sentence summary: Combine the details of 9 photos together.
It sounds like a lot of bull X, but after more details, it is a bit of an inversion.
Like the leaves just now, the details are over-synthesized into the texture of the scales, completely losing their original appearance.
Not only that, but what is more serious about this algorithm is that even furry cats can be photographed as "little hedgehogs", which makes people look at Rua at all.

Don't say that the machine brother has an opinion on the fruit, and I am not the only one who has an opinion on "deep integration".
Some time ago, some media published an article titled "The iPhone Camera Has Become Too Smart?" article.
Apple's latest phones use machine learning to make every photo look like it was taken professionally. But that doesn't mean it's a good photo.
After the protagonist of the article changed from the iPhone X to the iPhone 12 Pro, she found that the new phone was particularly bright no matter what it shot, and the saturation was not quite right.
Recalling the various publicity at the previous Apple conference, after the actual experience, there is a sense of "being deceived".
I felt a little cheated, every picture looked too bright, and the warm color saturation was gray and yellow.
Finally she made up a knife: it was not very clever Yazi.
Let it be a billion dollars smarter, seriously.
The professional photographer's comments are even more to the point, directly explaining why the new iPhone is taking things that are "weird".
Because of the intervention of the algorithm, the camera can capture details that many people can't see, that is, "too real".
This is actually a good thing, but too much detail over the head will make people feel "too unreal".
It (the algorithm) brings back detail in both highlights and shadows, which tends to be a lot more detail than you see in reality, which seems too real.
For example, I want to shoot the backlight effect, in order to have a visual impact that the dark part does not want.
But the algorithm is stunned to make the dark part of the black paint present the details, and the thief is particularly bright.
(Live Effect VS Shot Effect)
Hey, hey! It's not at all the effect I want.
But for many small whites, they do not care about the manufacturer's algorithm and tuning, and they will not pursue the reason. They are consequential and only care about whether the film is good or not.
After all, when we buy a refrigerator, we care about its refrigeration, not how to achieve refrigeration.
In a small book, this period of time has set off a wave of retro trend of iPhone XS.
Many bloggers have said: iPhone XS series camera YYDS. It looks better than the new iPhone.
Some bloggers directly po out selfie comparisons between old and new generations.
At first glance, it seems that the XS is indeed better shot.
So many netizens, even in today's 2022, still spend two or three thousand yuan to buy iPhone XS selfies. The new iPhone in hand has become a "foil".
So, I understand the reason, why XS?
That's because, starting with its next-generation iPhone 11, Apple has officially embarked on a journey of computational photography.
The iPhone XS was the last generation, no "deep integration" of the iPhone. That is what many people recognize: the last generation of iPhones with a fruity taste.
This set of algorithms is not good, why is the last flagship hot, there must be a fixed number in the dark, everyone understands it.
However, the machine brother does not recommend that you still buy XS now, after all, a mobile phone from 4 years ago, whether it is battery life or chip performance, in fact, there is no advantage.
And there is no 5G network, as well as ProMotion high brush, ultra-wide angle lens and so on these core hardware, forced to do the main machine use may be really uncomfortable.
Eight words to summarize: the machine brother does not recommend, if you have money, please feel free.
But then again, is "deep integration" really so pulled?
Brother Ji felt that he still had to look at it from two aspects.
From the perspective of consequentialism, "deep integration" is indeed the effect of frequently pulling crotch into pieces, and the excessive sharpening that everyone criticizes does exist.
But if it's to shoot detail textures, this algorithm can actually make the details more visible, which is a plus.
Moreover, the deep integration has also achieved a "corner overtaking".
Everyone knows that the fruit does not grow in 12 million years, and this algorithm can go beyond the limitations of the hardware itself and synthesize a 24-megapixel photo.
(Left: Turn on deep integration |.) Right: None)
This is also one of apple's "bottom lines" of 12 million in recent years.
It must be admitted that Apple did put a lot of effort into this algorithm, but the actual results did not make everyone pay.
It can only be said that this hardware base of 12 million pixels may be really difficult to combat the resolution of high pixels.
The simplest and most brutal solution is to raise the pixels.
Presumably Apple also wants to understand, it is said that this year's iPhone 14, the fruit may or may not be about to abandon 12 million, embrace 48 million pixels.
but... This set of statements, which began in 2016, can be said to be an annual post. But no one expected that the fruit really had not upgraded pixels for 6 years.
So do you think, Will Ah Guo upgrade the pixel this year?
