Project Indigo: A computational photography camera app

Published on:

Impressive results for all Pro and Pro Max iPhones from series 12, and all non-Pro iPhones from series 14…!

Reminds me of @Creaceed ‘s Hydra 2.

Here’s how it works:

“A simplified depiction of Indigo’s image processing pipeline. The frontend (at left) aligns and merges a stream of raw frames flowing from the camera. The merged but still (nearly) raw image is optionally stored as an Adobe DNG (Digital Negative) file (red box at top). The look computed by our Adaptive Color Profile AI (green box) is stored in the DNG file alongside the pixels, but doesn’t change them. The output of this AI also drives the backend (at right), which consists of tone mapping, sharpening, and color adjustments. These operations do change the pixel values. The modified pixels are compressed and stored in the JPEG file. The baking of adjustments into pixels is why editing a JPEG is always harder than editing a DNG.”
