Cognitive Services And Artificial Intelligence: How Microsoft Pix Works

We asked the representatives of Strategic Technologies Department "Microsoft Russia" to tell us how a new device Pix works and what services were used creating it. Professional photographers are familiar with the feeling when you take million shots expecting a perfect one, when it is essential to capture the moment because in a split second the shot will change forever. We all remember the feeling when we want to feel ourselves a pro and get a unique perfect shot using a smartphone, which is always with us, but unfortunately lacks some functions of a professional camera. Microsoft scientific-research team offered a solution of this problem and developed Microsoft Pix, an app for iPhone aimed at adjusting the settings for taking the best shots (ISO, exposition, focus) using the technologies of artificial intelligence. In this article we are going to consider it from a user's and developer's perspectives.
