"Computational Photography- How our Smartphones are Beating the Big Cameras"
by Gary Friedman-MA
Monday, October 7, 7:30 PMWe are entering a new era in photography, one in which ‘lowly’ smartphones are taking pictures that look as good as if you had shot in RAW and post-processed. Sure, nothing beats a big camera for image quality, resolution, and control, but for everyday use normal people are getting great results without any knowledge and without spending time at the computer.
What tricks are the smartphone manufacturers using that the big camera companies aren’t. How do they get great results in Night View mode without needing a tripod. Why do they create a 3D map of the image in the phone. And how quickly might your traditional big cameras become obsolete.
In this talk, Gary explains the clever secrets being employed behind the scenes, and offers impressive examples demonstrating that the quality gap between smartphones and traditional cameras continues to shrink. This talk was originally commissioned by the Royal Photographic Society in London.
