Smartphones manage to take surprisingly good photos in poor conditions. This is because an incredible number of calculations are performed on those photos to improve them. In this video, Google shows a new step in this process.
Improving photos by running clever algorithms on them is what we call computational photography.
Traditional brands such as Canon and Nikon still seem to be lagging quite far behind in this area. For now, they leave the improvements to software on your computer, such as Photoshop or Luminar.
Smartphones do seem to be gradually closing the gap, though. I wonder how long it will be before most photographers are satisfied with the capabilities of smartphones instead of cameras.
