Computational photography pitfalls: here’s what you need to know
Computational photography is great, but only with the proper implementation.
Computational photography makes up for hardware limitations in smartphones
Smartphones are relying on computational processing more and more as there is very little room for improvement left in the optical equipment.
The truth about Pixel Binning: separating Fact from Fiction
Pixel binning reduces resolution while computational photography helps. However, pixel binning takes the credit for improvement which is inaccurate.
What is Pixel Binning and why it’s so important for smartphones?
Improves signal-to-noise ratio by merging data from adjacent pixels.
