Starting the Galaxy S21 series, Samsung applied the AI-based Scene Optimizer feature in the Galaxy Camera app. Using deep learning and AI, this feature upscales the Moon shot and adds further details with processing to deliver a crispy and vibrant shot in Space Zoom.

“Samsung continues to improve Scene Optimizer to reduce any potential confusion that may occur between the act of taking a picture of the real moon and an image of the moon.” Said Samsung.

The Korean tech giant explains, if you have Scene Optimizer turned on, AI detects when you’re taking a clear photo of the Moon at 25X zoom or above. As soon as the camera detects the Moon, the technology lowers the brightness, and captures multiple frames (to produce a bright, low-noise picture).

Later, the AI-based feature uses a neural network to enhance the detail using a high-resolution reference image for comparison. The company also cited that the feature will not work if you either take a snapshot of the obscured Moon or use an image that clearly wasn’t taken on Earth.

“If users wish to take a picture without the support of AI, users can easily deactivate Scene Optimizer by heading to: Camera → Camera Settings → Scene Optimizer → Off“

Samsung may have felt explanation necessary during huge fake criticism of its pro-grade camera technology. A Reddit user shared his experience of experimenting with Moon shot using a Galaxy smartphone, which created critical controversy against Samsung.

With Scene Optimizer turned on, the Reddit user took a shot of a download and blurred image of the Moon, displayed on the monitor. The feature detected the appearance of the Moon and added details and sharpness to the shot to make it crispy as it does in real shots.

Naturally, anyone will call this kind of experience cheating but the reality is that Samsung revealed this technology after the release of the Galaxy S21 series. AI and machine learning technologies are being used in almost all aspects of the tech industry, and if a camera using it, it should not be any controversy.

Last week, a user-generated Reddit post created controversy on Samsung Space Zoom technology with the blame for producing AI-generated fake images of the Moon. In an email reply to Tom’s Guide, the company confirmed that the AI-derived feature doesn’t apply any image overlaying to the photo.

Here is the official response from Samsung, delivered via email to Tom’s Guide:

“Samsung is committed to delivering best-in-class photo experiences in any condition.

When a user takes a photo of the Moon, the AI-based scene optimization technology recognizes the Moon as the main object and takes multiple shots for multi-frame composition, after which AI enhances the details of the image quality and colors. It does not apply any image overlaying to the photo.

Users can deactivate the AI-based Scene Optimizer, which will disable automatic detail enhancements to the photo taken by the user.”

Samsung Space Zoom Controversy:

A Redditor posted his experiment of testing Samsung phone’s camera feature, especially the Space Zoom and Moon Shot. The user used a downloaded image of the Moon, downscaled it, and blurred it further (mentioned below) to test what changes the artificial intelligence makes.

He displayed the Moon on a monitor and went back to the second corner of the room (to increase the gap) and pointed the camera with the zoom at the monitor. Samsung phone’s AI-based Scene Optimizer feature identified the Moon and optimized the image with sharpness and colors.

There are blames that Samsung is cheating with Space Zoom and Moon Shots by applying an overlay on the image. The reports are completely fake and there’s no cheating in the Space Zoom feature of your Galaxy. Even, the company itself announced the use of Scene Optimizer, starting with the Galaxy S21 series.

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.

During the Galaxy S23 launch conference in Malaysia, Samsung Mobile president TM Roh hinted at a possible partnership with global IT companies, when it comes to AI. The statement spread with hope for ChatGPT’s arrival to Samsung services such as Bixby.

Vietnam’s Soha News and other local media outlets reported that the Samsung Mobile prez mentioned that large-scale interactive AI services will promote the development of mobile technology, and gave OpenAI’s humanlike chatbot ChatGPT as an example.

“ChatGPT’s machine learning and deep learning are showing innovations. … The language model will pave the way for Samsung to develop further,” says a report quoting TM Roh.

Some reports say that TM Roh stated that the company has a research and development center focused on AI development. Samsung’s AI focused R&D centre is “open to collaborating with various partners to find better AI technologies in the future.”

Since TM Roh’s statement suggests that the ChatGPT or similar AI model/service is coming to Galaxy devices in the future, but, a company executive clarified later. A Samsung official said, “We have not been in discussions over launching mobile services based on ChatGPT. Don’t get us wrong.”

Nothing hidden, Samsung has a close partnership with industry giants including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. These firms are also working with Samsung to boost the possibilities in AI (artificial intelligence) development.

Bixby is Samsung’s answer to Google Assistant service, which comes integrated into Galaxy devices. In most cases, Bixby is far away from Google Assistant and Samsung can make it wonderful by integrating the ChatGPT of a similar AI language mode.

Earlier, Samsung Display CEO, Joo-Seon Choi announced that AI technology is “OLED organic material design”. In the traditional way, engineers constantly adjust the molecular structure to change the material characteristics, so as to find the molecular structure corresponding to the material that meets the requirements to complete the design.

But now, engineers only need to set specific parameters, AI can simulate various situations and find a solution that meets the requirements to complete the design. AI technology takes the effort of designing a material structure in consideration of the number of cases and verifying it one by one through direct experimentation.

With AI technology, it only takes 30 seconds to design the molecular structure of 100 organic materials and derive the corresponding specific parameters. In addition, the Korean display maker pointed out that the difficulty of panel drive circuit design has become more difficult, and AI technology has also been actively applied in this field.

Engineers can achieve the desired effect through repeated drawing design even in the low-pixel panel design. Though, in the design of 4K, 8K, and other HD panels, it’s easy to encounter problems such as circuit interference, which often takes a long time. In order to achieve satisfactory results.

Kim Yong-jo, chief executive officer of CAE said, “the importance of AI technology in the display industry will increase in the future. It is predicted that it will be extended to system optimization that connects unit designs such as circuits, etc.”
