PARIS: An amateur photographer who goes by the name 'ibreakphotos' decided to do an experiment on his Samsung phone last month to find out how a feature called 'space zoom' actually works.
The feature, first released in 2020, claims a 100x zoom rate, and Samsung used sparkling clear images of the Moon in its marketing.Ibreakphotos took his own pictures of the Moon — blurry and without detail — and watched as his phone added craters and other details.The phone's artificial intelligence software was using data from its 'training' on many other pictures of the Moon to add detail where there was none.
Nick Dunmur of the Britain-based Association of Photographers said professionals most often use 'RAW' files on their digital cameras, which capture images with as little processing as possible.But sidestepping the tech is less easy for a casual smartphone shooter.Ibreakphotos, who posted his finding on Reddit, pointed out that technical jargon around AI is not always easy to understand — perhaps deliberately so.
