Google Pixel 3 pushes the boundaries of computational photography
- onion2k 8y agoSubtle shifts from handheld shake and optical image stabilization (OIS) allow scene detail to be localized with sub-pixel precision, since shifts are unlikely to be exact multiples of a pixel. Does that mean mounting a Pixel 3 on a tripod might actually give a worse result due to less shaking?
- londons_explore 8y agoYes. Certain types of noise depend on manufacturing defects in each pixel. Dark images are used to try to compensate, but they aren't perfect, especially at higher gains. By having deliberate camera shake, this noise can be treated like any other thermal noise.
