On May 29, Honor 90 series mobile phones were officially released, which is not only the latest work of Glory Digital Series, which is located at the middle and high end, but also a new breakthrough and turning point of Glory in imaging technology. Nothing is more interesting than "portrait Photography", which is blessed by a 200-megapixel ultra-clear background.

There is no doubt that image is one of the most important technology races from high-end to flagship smartphones at present. the technological R & D strength of mobile phone manufacturers is often reflected through image power, and in images, shooting people is one of the most high-frequency and most important use cases. This Glory 90 series puts the focus of image innovation on portrait portraits, which is of great significance to both glory and the trend of the industry.

The 200-megapixel photo camera, which makes people naturally photogenic, has indeed been able to replace professional cameras in many scenes, including important moments such as daily travel and gathering of relatives and friends. Many people will also choose to take photos with their mobile phones or in the same frame. But there has always been a common problem in taking portraits on mobile phones: over-beautification. Especially in recent years, the application of computational photography in mobile phone images, this problem is even more prominent.

For example, the following photo of the portrait taken by the editor with one of his high-end mobile phones is somewhat backlit, the dynamic range algorithm of the mobile phone is a little too hard, and the character's face is brighter than the sky, resulting in flattened facial features and even the chin. Moreover, the face of such a photo has a naked eye effect of skin peeling, facial pores and other details are almost non-existent, there is a kind of CG feeling, moreover, the skin color of the character looks a little yellowish, has no complexion, the outline of the face is also a little out of shape, and the proportion of the neck looks a little out of harmony.

In short, there are three words: unnatural.

Perhaps the photo illustrated by the editor is acceptable. I believe we have seen more exaggerated portraits taken by other mobile phones in our lives, with excessive body beauty and high dynamic range effect, which gives people a feeling of fake. Even the family dare not recognize it. No wonder netizens always say that these are not "photos" but "photo scams".

In fact, this is the pain point that many users encounter when taking portraits with their mobile phones. Do we really need the kind of portrait photos that are untruly beautiful all the time? No, in fact, the "beauty" we want is based on nature and reality. If what we shoot is not like ourselves, then what is the use of beauty?

The portrait photography of the Glory 90 series is based on this idea. What they advocate is that "beauty is naturally photogenic." The "nature" here, first of all, is to retain a wealth of details when taking portraits, from the hair, the quality of the skin to the appearance of the characters, the description of the eyes, and so on; the second is that there is no sense of decoration, as if to freeze the picture seen by the human eye, but it is more beautiful than what the human eye sees, and there is no lack of mirror sense at the same time.

"clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving", this is what we need portrait photography, is "beauty, naturally photogenic."

Of course, the "natural photogenic" pursued by the Glory 90 series is not a simple "return to nature" without modification, but an unpolished trace, a further step in computational photography, the use of technology to present the sense of natural reality on camera, is a higher-level idea.

So the question is: how can glory achieve this feeling?

In order to restore the natural beauty of portraits, Glory 90 series has done a lot to enable mobile portraits to show the natural and real beauty of the characters themselves, which is not an easy task. Glory has also made efforts in many aspects this time.

First of all, on the image hardware level, the Glory 90 series has achieved photosensitive dimensionality. As mentioned earlier, the first step in natural texture is to retain sufficient detail, so this time the Glory 90 series uses an ultra-clear 1.4-inch backdrop camera with 200 megapixels. With the blessing of a 200-megapixel sensor, even if the multi-pixel all-in-one technology is used, it can retain rich picture details and ultra-high definition, which lays a foundation for the Glory 90 series to capture the facial details and depict the character's demeanor in detail.

For example, the following portrait photo taken with Glory 90 Pro is very rich in details, such as fine lines around the corners of the eyes and texture of the skin, which are very beneficial to portraying the characters.

At the same time, we often need to use telephoto when shooting portraits. You know, telephoto lenses have great advantages in composition when shooting portraits, and they are also very suitable for capturing details such as the appearance of characters. Therefore, this Glory 90 Pro has a rear 3200 megapixel telephoto lens and supports OIS+EIS double anti-shake, providing three focal segments in portrait shooting, allowing you to shoot portraits in a variety of scenes to find the most ideal angle. Achieve a refreshing portrait shooting experience.

On the basis of powerful hardware, the Glory 90 series has also achieved dimensionality upgrading in the portrait shooting algorithm, and the portrait camera has creatively introduced a portrait engine, which can achieve the original stereoscopic makeup at the studio level, which can be photographed naturally, and at the same time, it presents a ruddy color through a complex skin color mapping algorithm, and has AI skin clarity tuning technology to restore delicate texture just right.

For example, in the following photo, the light and dark transition of the facial features of the character is very delicate, thus creating a strong three-dimensional sense. At the same time, the optimization of the facial skin color of the photo is very fresh and natural, showing that the overall appearance of the character is very good, as well as bright eyes. Slightly raised lips, the affinity of the character's expression jumped on top of the photo.

Another key point of portrait shooting is the virtual background, on the one hand, it can highlight the subjectivity of the characters and improve the hierarchical sense of the picture, on the other hand, it can also weaken the messy background and enhance the beauty of the photos. However, the virtual background of the portrait of many mobile phones is not good, and there is no hierarchical sense of the virtual lens. At the same time, portrait matting is often wrong.

Glory 90 series this time brought the SLR progressive virtual technology, so that the background near and far virtual are different, it through three-dimensional double mirror bionic ranging, fit real physics to achieve this gradual virtual, but also the use of AI big data massive training to achieve micron precision hair segmentation, so that the main body and background segmentation is more detailed.

You can take a look at the following photo taken by Honor 90 Pro, the tiny rough edges on the characters' hats are clearly divided, and the deep wood, houses and further green trees all show different intensity of virtual, the sense of hierarchy is very clear, which makes the whole photo very harmonious and natural, so that the characters and the environment form an organic whole and set off each other. This is the effect of a good portrait photo.

Natural photogenic, true beauty, the new trend of mobile portrait photography is coming. Through the above technical explanation and case analysis, I believe you have a clearer understanding of the concept and realization process pursued by Glory 90 series of "portrait photography".

It can be said that in an environment in which the industry as a whole is getting more and more deviant on the road of computational photography, each family blindly pursues the extreme beauty of portraits, and how "beauty" comes from regardless of authenticity, Glory 90 series is the first to put forward the idea that portraits should pursue natural beauty and return to reality, and restore the true beauty of characters with natural photogenic portraits through portrait cameras. This will undoubtedly bring a new and professional portrait shooting experience for the majority of young users.

To be able to do this, in fact, thanks to Glory's long-term investment in the field of cutting-edge technology. Since its independence, Glory has invested 10% of its revenue in research and development every year. At present, Glory's R & D investment intensity has ranked among the top six in the country, with more than 8000 R & D personnel, accounting for more than 60% of the company's personnel.

In addition, Glory also has seven global R & D centers (Beijing, Xi'an, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Paris) and 100 + Innovation Laboratories. In the first half of 2022, Glory Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Park officially listed the "Intelligent Manufacturing demonstration Factory", becoming the only intelligent manufacturing demonstration factory certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the smartphone industry.

At the same time, more importantly, the idea of honoring technological innovation is not to innovate for the sake of innovation, but to solve the pain points of consumers and realize people-centered technological innovation. With the advent of the 200-megapixel portrait camera, Glory opens up the track for portrait portraits, which is based on Glory Digital's keen insight into the pain points of young users when taking portrait photos. at the same time, it is also a concentrated embodiment of the ability of glory technological innovation.

With the super image technology, Glory 90 series shot is the benchmark, the natural photogenic portrait concept has been put into practice perfectly. It can be predicted that this breakthrough innovation is expected to set off a new trend of "portrait portraits" in the field of mobile phone images.

Such a "trend" can not only enhance the shooting experience of consumers, but also guide the healthy and positive development of mobile phone images to play an important guiding role. Perhaps, this is the "trend" that we like to hear and see.
