Over a decade of dedication has brought about profound achievements in advanced imaging, spanning both hardware and software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2017, Xiaomi showcased one of the world\u2019s first 12MP camera smartphones, Mi 6, featuring 2X optical zoom, 1.25\u03bcm pixels, and four-axis OIS. In 2018, a dedicated R&amp;D team was created to accelerate smartphone photography advancement. In March 2022, Xiaomi shook the industry yet again with Xiaomi 12 Series, which featured multiple computational photography breakthroughs, including advanced AI-based features like Xiaomi ProFocus, and for photography the Ultra Night Photo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Xiaomi\u2019s milestone smartphone photography achievements is Night Mode algorithm, which allows hassle free shooting even in low-lighting environments. Lei Lei, director of Algorithm Department, and his team have received wide recognition for their achievements in this area, from both public and professional photographer communities, receiving awards at events such as NTIRE 2022&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out more about the vision behind Xiaomi\u2019s computational photography push and the internal methodologies of the AI Imaging Algorithm team, we asked Lei Lei to share some thoughts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Simple questions with complex answers&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lei Lei\u2019s team started its exploration with a simple question, \u201chow can we let users to take good photos consistently, regardless of lighting conditions?\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we were trying to do was to deliver a smart, easy-to-use photography experience built on a deep understanding of users\u2019 photography habits\u201d, said Lei Lei, \u201call AI imaging technologies in Xiaomi smartphones are built to enable users to take images and videos with a look increasingly closer-to-life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lei Lei describes his approach as \u201cAesthetic Exploration\u201d. At Xiaomi, every imaging engineer believes that subjective \u201caesthetic preferences drive user experience\u201d. Hence, interpreting these aesthetic preferences has been one of the main issues on the agenda. Solving this puzzle requires a complex mix of imaging engineering, detail processing, perfecting contrast ratios and white balance, and even AI learning \u2013 all of this to make sure users get their pictures and videos exactly the way they envisaged them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shot-On-Xiaomi-12-Pro-with-Night-Mode_2_ssict_1200_900.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shot-On-Xiaomi-12-Pro-with-Night-Mode_2_ssict_1200_900-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"Shot On Xiaomi 12 Pro with Night Mode_2_ssict_1200_900\" class=\"wp-image-36474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shot-On-Xiaomi-12-Pro-with-Night-Mode_2_ssict_1200_900-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shot-On-Xiaomi-12-Pro-with-Night-Mode_2_ssict_1200_900-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shot-On-Xiaomi-12-Pro-with-Night-Mode_2_ssict_1200_900-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shot-On-Xiaomi-12-Pro-with-Night-Mode_2_ssict_1200_900-1080x810.webp 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shot-On-Xiaomi-12-Pro-with-Night-Mode_2_ssict_1200_900.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>R&amp;D success vs. Elevated user experience&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Although it&#8217;s really rewarding to see our innovations be incorporated into new products, whenever we start a new project, what motivates us the most is not R&amp;D success,\u201d notes Lei Lei, \u201cit\u2019s more about seeing how our technologies can help people solve daily issues and improve lives. I\u2019m convinced that this is one value that every imaging engineer at Xiaomi will subscribe to.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, photography became grew to be one of the most sought-after features in smartphones, and major smartphone manufactures began allocating a large portion of their resources to photo and video research. As an industry-leading brand, Xiaomi contributed to this technological trend by introducing products equipped with bleeding-edge photography and videography features to the mass market. Those included some of the industry&#8217;s largest smartphone camera lenses, as well as groundbreaking AI features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xiaomi\u2019s AI algorithms are carefully designed and optimized by product with consumer needs in mind.&nbsp;&#8220;The idea of developing computational photography features, including Night Mode, started from our simple observation that images taken in low-light conditions rarely meet user quality expectations, which is exacerbated by the fact that it is a rather common shooting scenario, such as say, when you\u2019re out with friends for an evening,\u201d says Lei Lei.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Night Mode was developed with a clear aim \u2013 to enable users to capture crisp and clear images, while decreasing noise levels when shooting with illumination as low as 0.1Lux, which is roughly equal to shooting with only a full moon as your light source.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAiming high, and walking into territory barely any brand has explored before was a great challenge for us. Back then, no one knew how long it would take for us to reach the expected destination. What we did was just keep moving towards the goal, not as individuals but as a team, while respecting science, being open to new knowledge, and constantly encouraging each other. Personally, I believe this is part of what allows us to achieve technological success.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>*Feature Explanation:&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xiaomi ProFocus: Xiaomi ProFocus is AI based photography algorithm which enables Xiaomi smartphone intelligently identify and track shooting objects, preventing blurring or out-of-focus shots of moving or veiled subjects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ultra Night Photo<\/strong>: Ultra Night Photo is an AI based photography algorithm developed to help smartphones easily capture detailed images with as little as 0.02 lux of light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Night Mode:<\/strong>&nbsp;Xiaomi&#8217;s own Night Mode algorithm developed to enable Xiaomi smartphone to excel in extreme low-light scenarios and allows snappier shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 13th September 2022 &#8211;&nbsp;Xiaomi has pursued the cutting edge of smartphone photography innovation since inception, and continuously offered exceptional user experience.
