Recently, a user-generated Reddit post has become a controversial thread, claiming that Samsung is cheating with Space Zoom and the Moon shots by using AI. The user used an image of the Moon, went some steps backward, and captured the displayed Moon to check what happens.
Samsung Galaxy Camera uses AI to upscale the image of the Moon so it looks clearer in images. To do so, the company has applied an intelligent method, which consists of shots of a real Moon in all of its shapes. Machine learning helps the shot to be nourished further during processing.
In his Reddit post, the user said that he has downloaded a high-resolution image of the Moon from the internet, downscaled it to 170×170 pixels, and applied a gaussian blur. That way, the user removed all the details of the image of the Moon downloaded from the web.
This technical yet tricky procedure further added the upscaling of the image by 4 times so the phone can consider it as a long-distance natural Moon. The user later full-screened the image on the monitor, turned the room dark, and captured the screen through a Samsung phone from a distance.
The Samsung phone identified the displayed moon as the real Moon and the Artificial Intelligence refined the shot and delivered a clear and vibrant image of the Moon. For the user, it might be the first time to see the AI technique as generally we don’t try to test the camera and space zoom.
There’s nothing like cheating nor Samsung phones are producing fake Moon images. The company already revealed that an intelligent camera technique and different kinds of machine learning work behind the shot so user can get the most adorable variant in Space Zoom.
AI is being used everywhere. What do you think, is Samsung really cheating with Space Zoom? Let us know through Twitter.
