Stu Maschwitz has once again assumed a quite interesting topic: He looked at the Tiefenschaerfe effect of the new iPhone 7 Plus very detailed. The new Apple smartphone has two cameras and manages thus to calculate a rudimentary depth graduation of space synthetically. It can then disappear the background of an image in a digital blur due to this depth information, ie create a digital bokeh. This already existed earlier rudimentarily in some Android applications, but Apple will now have reached a new quality level. Stu certify the new effect then also very politically correct to be good enough to take pictures emotionally valuable. Although the blur itself does not come close to professional Bokeh algorithms, butworks optically nevertheless quite appealing. By contrast, the fall out Objektraender often very soft and messy, while genuine bokeh often by a clear edge between the Schaerfeebenen is particularly interesting. In our opinion, truly remarkable, however, is the possibility, examine this effect already in the display preview in real time to be able to. Because this could in the medium term bokeh in Videoaufnhamen conjure with small sensors. And so again myself smartphones are interesting for even more user layer yet to attacks because of Tiefenschaerfe for separate camera. But even if Apple this technology already sold. From a (semi-) professional (film) use it is still far away. In the middle of the linked article has recently a video clipinvolved showing the Tiefenschaerfe effect the live view of the iPhone. Considering here the object edges (in full-screen mode on the PC) you can still see very well that is tricked here digitally. What this even clearer in a moving image strikes. But what is not, is likely to be fast. Especially since we can well imagine an application that can on the PC creates the Tiefenschaerfe levels of several synchronously running cameras and then serve with precise edge information. Lytro has something already presented in the Hollywood environment. However, in the near future we expect more favorable software applications, for one can use yourself a few simple cameras in parallel. In the research, there are namely more infos at bei prolost.com
