The first Chinese Natural Image Creator Conference hosted by China National Geographic was held in Beijing from November 23 to 24. On the occasion of the successful conclusion of the 2023 China Wildlife Image Annual Competition, as a professional platform for global natural image creation, communication and dissemination, the annual competition organizing committee upgraded the annual competition award ceremony to the first Chinese Natural Image Creator Conference. there are three major sections: annual competition work exhibition, theme forum and award ceremony. Li Shuanke, president and editor-in-chief of China National Geographic magazine, Pan Jing, deputy director of the propaganda Department of the Chaoyang District CPC Committee in Beijing, Fang Zhi, deputy secretary general of the China Environmental Protection Foundation, and Hou Mingjuan, global vice president of Qualcomm, jointly attended the launching ceremony to witness the establishment of the first China Natural Image Creator Conference, so that more people can participate in the creation of natural images.

Since 2020, Snapdragon has joined hands with China National Geographic for four consecutive years to become the exclusive imaging technology partner of the competition, demonstrating Snapdragon's continuous innovation in the field of mobile imaging technology. and a firm belief in promoting wildlife image development and natural ecological conservation. From "the Last Alpine salamander" a few years ago, using a smartphone equipped with Snapdragon 8 series flagship mobile platform to complete the first image recording of a rare species of alpine salamander, to Tibetan foxes hunted by Yushu in Qinghai, cute monkeys playing in the snow-capped mountains of Baima, to "national parks in mobile phones", and then to exploring "symbiosis" with mobile imaging technology this year, mobile phone photography has gone deep into a variety of wild environments. Through the convenience and technological innovation brought by cutting-edge mobile images, it conveys the pure, vivid and magnificent beauty of nature and life. Over the past four years, the annual video competition has accumulated nearly 40000 minutes of precious images of wildlife and 119506 submissions. In 2022, the annual competition, as a representative of Chinese folk forces, stepped onto the United Nations stage and told the world the Chinese story of "image protection of nature".

In the image technology cooperation with China National Geographic, Snapdragon has made continuous progress with China's natural image industry, created a precedent for natural image creation with mobile phones, and witnessed the historical process of natural ecological protection in China. Li Shuanke, president and editor-in-chief of China National Geographic magazine, said: "with the support of imaging technology partner Snapdragon, we continue to broaden the boundaries of image creation-whether in terms of creative people, creative themes or creative techniques: the establishment of mobile phones encourages the public to widely participate in the recording and sharing of natural images. The joint documentary series leads you to explore China's national parks, endemic species and symbiotic places; 8K images reveal the details of wildlife; cutting-edge mobile imaging technologies such as 18-bit ISP enable us to truly reproduce the splendor of wildlife; and mobile AI imaging technology opens a new exploration of science and technology-assisted scientific research and nature conservation. The blessing of technology not only makes creation more powerful, but also greatly expands the imaginative space of 'image protection of nature'. "

Hou Mingjuan, global vice president of ▲ Qualcomm, said: "using the power of science and technology to transmit the power of life is the original intention of Snapdragon to participate in the annual wildlife competition in China. This year, with the ability of the mobile phone chip AI, many life stories that were difficult to capture with mobile phones have been clearly presented. Snapdragon mobile phones have become a tool for scientists to explore and study nature."

During the scientific examination of Motuo, Lu Zhi, founder of the Landscape Nature Conservation Center and conservation biology of Peking University, and Gu Yurong, associate professor and doctor of botany at Capital normal University, recorded a variety of species newly discovered in the past two years and wild plants under national key protection. for example, Motuo mouth Arrow, Beautiful Dolan and so on. Since then, Gu Yourong went to Motuo many times for scientific research, and in the follow-up scientific research process, he also used a mobile phone equipped with Snapdragon chip to photograph and record suspected new species and plant species that evolved into different forms in Motuo.

Behind the shooting of the ▲ Meiguan Crystal Orchid "Symbiosis Land" series of documentary films on natural science research, China National Geographic team joined hands with Snapdragon and formed a team with a number of well-known scientists to go deep into the natural depths of the Red River Butterfly Valley, Pu'er Wuliang Mountain, Nyingchi Motuo and other natural depths. During the inspection, smart cars, wearable devices, PC and smartphones equipped with Snapdragon platform work together to help scientists and photographers go deep into natural mysteries and make unremitting efforts for scientific research and nature conservation through advanced scientific and technological ecology.

Snapdragon continues to explore in the field of mobile imaging, with the continuous improvement of mobile phone imaging ability to reduce the threshold of natural photography. The latest third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform supports Snapdragon Sight Snapdragon imaging technology, which uses 18-bit three ISP to capture up to 3.2 megapixels per second, bringing professional image quality, and supports up to 200 megapixel photo shooting, magnifying the smallest details. Not only that, the third-generation Snapdragon 8 supports the new Qualcomm AI engine to achieve a breakthrough AI performance upgrade, increasing the number of semantic layers that can be identified at shooting to 12. It also supports better HDR shooting, which can bring clear and beautiful films under any light conditions, greatly enhancing the texture and detail of the photos. With the continuous improvement of mobile phone imaging ability, more and more people can pick up mobile phone records anytime and anywhere, share China's magnificent mountains and rivers and beautiful creatures, and capture the ever-changing land of symbiosis.
