Nokia's new love Pelican Imaging Array Camera | Love Computer - 上海419贵族宝贝-上海后花园1314-上海品茶网-阿拉爱上海

I believe you have seen the news that Nokia will cooperate with Pelican to develop a super camera phone with 16 array lenses. I am also very interested in this lens. Now I will introduce the strengths of this camera.

Pelican Imaging was founded in 2008, Headquartered in Mountain View, California, is the inventor of array camera on mobile devices. At present, investors include Qualcomm and Nokia.

This lens is an array lens composed of 4 * 4 sub lenses. Each lens will capture a color (red, green, blue) separately and combine it into a picture. The color of the photos taken in this way will be more pure, and can also better suppress noise. When it comes to this, you may feel very familiar. At that time, HTC One's Ultrapixel technology was mistaken for such a similar technology by many people. But in fact, HTC One's camera is a technology that has a large photosensitive element and uses 4.3 million pixels of concentration.

As we can see from its propaganda picture, its camera is very thin, which can be well integrated into the fuselage without protruding one piece (this point, Nuoji's 808 has been much complained about, although the imaging effect is very good, the thickness is too hard to accept). Nokia chose to invest in Pelican Imaging at this moment of life and death, probably because of its excellent volume control.

So what's so remarkable about this array camera? Please see the sample below.

The above four samples were taken by Pelican array camera (well, the official said so), You might think that these four pictures are just taken with the same composition and different focus settings, right? But in fact, this camera just took a picture! What is really taken is the first picture. The first picture is full focus. The whole picture is in focus regardless of distance and is clear. The last three pictures are refocused after shooting through Pelican's own software. That is to say, when shooting with Pelican array camera, you don't need to consider whether your camera is correctly focused. You just need to press the shutter according to your favorite composition. After shooting, you can also choose a different focus for focusing. Of course, as long as you like, you can also use full focus shooting proof output.

Well, generally speaking, the full focus can only be displayed clearly when the scene is 40 cm away, so the full focus cannot be used to shoot macro. But that is based on a single shot. Pelican array lens has 16 sub lenses. It is estimated that each lens not only captures different colors, but also captures different focal points far and near to synthesize a full focus image. In this way, you can select the focus after shooting.

For example, the following samples:

This sample is also a full focus sample. We can see that the bicycle tires closest to the lens and the trees on the wall farthest away are correctly focused.

Then set the focus on the bicycle tire through special software.

The focus is set on the bicycle in the center of the screen.

Set on the back wall, these samples are a demonstration of focusing after imaging. After the sample above, you should know its imaging principle.

Through its special software, you can also select multiple focus points to make your photos more vivid.

In addition, the special software can also intelligently extract the characters, so that you can put them where you like.

The above functions are demonstrated in the following video.

Maybe you are worried about whether the sample size will be large? But according to the official website, their unique image processing technology can control the photo capacity to only about 20% more than ordinary photos. The capacity of ordinary photos here depends on how many pixels you use to shoot. Unfortunately, it is not clear what pixels this camera supports.

Finally, what effect can Nokia's Pure View technology and Pelican's array camera have? Xiao Bian is also very curious and expectant. Let's leave time to explain all this!
