When I'm taking a picture of a receipt or sticker behind a machine, I don't actually want a literal photograph of the entire scene but just a reproduction of the text content.
Any environmental lighting, color and texture of the desk, and all other visual detail are only a distraction.
So if the camera would recognize this intent and just give me the receipt looking like it came from a scanner, that would in fact be a great improvement. So I think your example is in fact a point in favor of having AI meddle with most photos that people shoot.
- rincebrain 2y agoThere's a pretty famous example of Xerox's scanners using compression on the scans done...except the "compression" would sometimes substitute the wrong letter or number on text-based content. [1] So I can foresee pretty straightforward problems with merely storing the text content from the images, to say nothing of any less binary "is it correct" questions.
