Microsoft Pix: First Ever Camera App Based On Artificial Intelligence

The pace at which the world is advancing has led technology giants to stand at par with the ongoing competition to create wonders. Redmond giant Microsoft too has taken a stand now for itself by releasing a camera app by the name of 'Pix'.

The newly released camera app has been designed exclusively for iOS users and comes with zero settings. It's not a hallucination, rather a fact that needs to be digested. The iOS application really comes with no manually adjustable settings and rather makes use of Artificial Intelligence concept to give the users the best possible click with a single tap.

Everything has a downside and this too can act as a nightmare for photography lovers who like to customize the settings in myriad ways depending on their requirements and the environment they are a part of presently. The company has rather designed this application exclusively for those users who simply wants to click a picture with no complications of any sort involved.

The application simply captures the frames even before the user taps the shutter and every time it takes a wide range of photographs i.e., it makes use of burst mode and then using the concept of AI, it chooses the best one on the basis of different factors like quality, sharpness and even includes some facial traits like smiles and checks whether the people in the frame had their eyes open or not something which gets missed in other normal cameras.

Microsoft Pix adjusts its settings itself

The other highlight of the camera app is that it keeps the people inside the frame at its highest priority once it's done with the facial recognition and then it automatically adjusts several other aspects like brightness, contrast, white balance etc. Additionally, the app makes use of de-noising on the clicked images by collecting data from other burst shots and then enhance the image on a real-time basis.

To make it easier for the user to differentiate between the original click and the edited image, the application also comes with a 'compare' option that allows the user to understand what all changes have been done by the app in a particular image. Additionally, the app detects any 'interesting motion' in a shot and then combines a range of burst shots together forming a short video named as Live Image as stated by the company.

Microsoft Pix Auto-Enhancement and Compare feature

The feature of Live Image is available only on those iPhone and iPad models which are iPhone 5s and latest unlike Live Photo feature of Apple that works only on the recently released models.
