IIT Madras & US University Develop Deep Learning Algorithms To Enhance 3D Effects In Phone Videos- Education News
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras and the US-based Northwestern University have developed AI-powered algorithms that can greatly enhance the depth perception and 3D effects in videos shot using smartphone cameras.
According to officials, these algorithms aim to prevent mobile phone images from being “flat” and impart a realistic 3D feel. A crucial advantage of the algorithm developed is that it eliminates the need for fancy equipment or an array of lenses to capture videos with depth.
Kaushik Mitra, assistant professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras said “It is a common complaint, especially among amateur and professional photographers, that photographs and videos shot using smartphone cameras have a flat, two-dimensional look. Apart from the flat look, some 3D features such as the ‘Bokeh Effect’ – the aesthetic blurring of the background – that are easy with the DSLR camera, are challenging in smartphone cameras. While a few mid and high-end smartphone cameras are now programmed to incorporate such effects in still photographs, especially in portrait mode, it is not yet possible to render them in videos captured using smartphones.”
