Google Pixel 6 Camera

Making a simple snapshot on a smartphone invokes multiple AI programs. The camera autofocuses; automatically finds and enhances faces; senses motion so that it can apply a blurring effect; and adjusts for lighting—especially in low light settings. There is a new feature called “Real Tone” that adjusts exposure and colour balance correction based on the skin tone of the subject to provide more accurate representation of diverse skin tones. Photos can be edited with a “Magic Eraser” that allows for easy removal of unwanted background clutter. The computational photography software that drives the Google camera is designed to run on the new Google Tensor chip, a microprocessor designed specifically for fast, low-power processing of the neural networks that are the foundation of contemporary AI techniques.
