Following its backlit photography breakthrough, smartphone brand Vivo is taking mobile photography to new heights with its Super HDR auto scene detection to produce clearer photos, better colors, more details and better tones.
Super HDR follows the same principles as regular HDR but merges more frames to resolve the problems presented by contrasting strong dark and light tones in a photo. It captures more frames and intelligently merges them to cater to more extreme lighting scenarios.
?Vivo continues to push the boundaries and provide the ultimate camera experience for consumers. This goes beyond just adding powerful functions, but to developing innovations that our users can immediately enjoy,” Vivo senior vice president Alex Feng said.
The dynamic range can reach up to 14 EV (Exposure Value) capturing up to 12 frames, significantly more frames than the existing HDR technology. This provides more image options for merging to perfectly light all the parts of the eventual photo.
Super HDR adapts to different scenes and its dynamic range characteristics, selecting and merging frames to best render the image?s highlights and shadow details which reduce the unnaturally processed look of a regular HDR setting. The new setting also optimize shadows to ensure the complex photo?s highlights with balanced and natural shadows. It also leverages complex AI algorithms to adapt to different scenarios determining the ideal exposure strategy and accordingly select the frames for merging.
Ensuring the subject is clear and well-lit, Super HDR employs smart scene detection to balance the lighting of the person and the background to create a natural feel.
“[Today?s showcase of] Super HDR is an example of our continued commitment to mobile photography, to enable our consumers to shoot professional quality photos at the touch of a button. Using intelligent AI, Super HDR can capture more detail under any conditions, without additional demands on the user,? Feng added.
