The unlimited potential in on-device AI for camera and imaging

One of the primary benefits of AI today, whether you develop AI software, shoot video, or take photos, is that AI can accelerate the process and bring your product to reality quicker. Specifically, for software developers, the AI tools at their disposal for edge devices like smartphones are opening the way for new cutting-edge features and applications. "As a developer or as a creative, would you rather spend your time on the mundane challenges of programming or getting right to the creative side?" says Gary Brotman, senior director and head of AI strategy and product planning at Qualcomm Technologies. "AI, using neural networks, which means today's smartphone features produce photos as good as those you'd expect from a high-end DSLR camera." Plus, as technology evolves, all those familiar features like scene recognition, night mode photography, super resolution, and more can be applied in real time rather than during post-processing as they are today.
