Let Mobile Photography Say Farewell to "Digital Taste" —— The Story Behind Xiaomi × Leica Image Quality Experience Improvement Project

Let Mobile Photography Say Goodbye to "Digital Taste"

—— The story behind Xiaomi × Leica Image Quality Experience Improvement Project

□ Our reporter Peng Xie

"Is it correct to make the night scene as bright as the day? At night, is there at least a’ night sense’? " This is a question raised by Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Company in Weibo. In fact, it is not difficult to brighten the night scene for the current mobile image photography equipment, but it is not easy to restore the "night feeling" seen by the eyes.

In the eyes of the industry, "lighting up the night scene" is the inevitable result of some mobile phone manufacturers’ over-reliance on computational photography and post-optimization, with the aim of lowering the threshold for taking a "good" photo. These so-called "good" photos are brighter than the colors seen by the eyes, brighter than the real light, and the details are still clear when magnified several times. But in the eyes of photographers and enthusiasts, there is an unreal "digital taste".

Say goodbye to the taste of digital and return to the real world of light and shadow, which is what users expect from the image experience. In July, 2022, Xiaomi Company announced the strategic cooperation with Leica, the leading brand in the global imaging field, to realize the original Leica image experience on the mobile phone, form Xiaomi’s unique image quality style, and redefine "good photos". Behind it, it is Xiaomi people’s diligent pursuit of image quality style and the ultimate exploration of digitizing style.

Call up the user’s favorite "Leica flavor"

For more than 100 years, Leica cameras have formed a unique "Leica flavor" by virtue of exquisite optical engineering design and powerful manufacturing technology. After a year-long in-depth communication with Leica, Xiaomi explored the key elements of "Leica flavor"-three-dimensional tone, telepresence color and soft and realistic details.

But this is far from enough. The real "Leica taste" is not counted by Leica, nor by Xiaomi, but by users.

The project team spent a lot of time and energy to screen out a group of professional photographers and enthusiasts who are familiar with Leica and agree with Xiaomi, conduct in-depth interviews, and define the Leica style in the eyes of users through the comparison and selection of a large number of proofs. The process of deep communication with users is like building a city of light and shadow, brick by brick, interlocking and striving for perfection, just to make professional photography simpler and images more realistic.

In this process, the project team made a new discovery-on the basis of ensuring authenticity and naturalness, many users also like the samples with fuller and sharper colors compared with the original Leica samples. Therefore, the project team decided to develop two styles of "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid" simultaneously. The former perfectly reproduces the imaging style of Leica camera, abandons the effect of forcibly brightening the traditional mobile phone image, makes the darkness dark, and the color is full of "German flavor"; On the basis of maintaining accurate restraint, the latter moderately brightens and adjusts the saturation of the picture, showing bright and sharp tones and vivid and full colors.

After the dual-style route was clear, the project team and Leica reached a consensus, and the raw images of Leica M series cameras were used as input, and intelligent processing was carried out through machine learning algorithm. Dynamic brightening technology, deepAWB technology, extreme image quality technology and efficient computing technology were innovatively used to create a material library for hundreds of subdivided scenes such as portraits, blue sky, sunset, green plants and flowers, and all the materials were disassembled according to the dimensions of exposure, contrast, color and noise.

The quality of images is not only a standard, but also a promise to users. In the technical adjustment, the project team chose the most difficult and least tricky way-brand-new pipeline and parameter design, and distinguished "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid" from the bottom parameters. It is several orders of magnitude more difficult to do this than to adjust the surface parameters, and it also brings huge workload to the later adaptation, but only in this way can "Leica Classic" and "Leica Vivid" truly achieve their own wonderful.

Taking the birthday cake as an example, Leica Classic adopts neutral white balance to make the picture and color more calm and objective. "Leica Vivid" uses white balance parameters that are more suitable for human eyes and emotions to enhance the sense of atmosphere and make the picture warmer, "equivalent to adding a warm filter to the picture".

Let the public take good photos at will.

Optical problems must be solved in an optical way. In the cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica, the two sides have a consensus that excessive use of computational photography due to insufficient optical quality will cause irreversible damage to the picture, which is tantamount to quenching thirst by drinking poison. This means that Xiaomi is going to change or even subvert the aesthetic habits that the public has long cultivated by "computational photography" and "post-optimization". Photographer Huang Cao questioned: "It takes a lot of courage and determination. Will there really be mobile phone manufacturers who dare to do this?"

In June, 2022, Xiaomi invited 25 professional photographers, including Huangcao, to attend a closed-door communication meeting, and took out the unreleased 12s Ultra engineering machine for trial use. The purpose was to let everyone judge whether this mobile phone was "Leica" or not.

After taking a few photos with Xiaomi 12s Ultra engineering machine, the weeds feel that the texture is completely different from that taken with a mobile phone. Li Yue, the product manager of Xiaomi Camera Department, was surprised by a car photo taken by a photographer. "It’s better than I expected!" He said.

At this closed meeting, Xiaomi collected some opinions and suggestions from photographers, including the problem of "white balance adjustment of multi-focus switching" put forward by weeds-when shooting the sea with a short-focus lens of a mobile phone and a small boat in the sea with a telephoto lens, the color of the sea surface will be deviated due to different focal lengths. For ordinary users, this is a subtle difference that needs careful comparison to find, but for photographers, it is an unavoidable problem.

Li Yue and his colleagues believe that these 25 photographers are heavy users of Leica, and the problems they found may not be the most sensitive and concerned by ordinary users, but they are very critical to the image quality and Leica style, and have a "high priority". Although it is difficult to change, they are willing to face the difficulties. "Our goal is to let the public take good photos and get the best photography experience, so the first thing we have to do is to tell everyone what a good photo is." They said.

Subsequently, according to the photographer’s opinion, the project team set up a special group such as "multi-camera consistency" to focus on tackling key problems, from camera adaptation to chip debugging, and make all-round improvement. When Xiaomi 12s Ultra was officially released, Huangcao was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiaomi had solved almost all the problems mentioned at the press conference. "In addition to the rapid improvement, Xiaomi’s emphasis on photographers’ ideas is also very touching." He said.

Thanks to the efforts of the project team, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, the latest flagship of humanities imaging specialty released in 2023, was officially defined as a "fantastic historical work" by Leica, and the praise rate of the self-operated flagship store in JD.COM was over 99%. It is Xiaomi people’s persistent pursuit of "quality" to take users as the center and take user satisfaction as the goal, so that users can take pictures of the most beautiful scenery at will. Saying goodbye to "digital taste" and returning to "optical taste" is Xiaomi’s pursuit of moving images and the definition of "good photos", which has been verified in Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

The cooperation was praised by the German team

Xiaomi joined hands with Leica, which promoted the deep cooperation and mutual appreciation of engineers from two different countries. It is precisely because Xiaomi and Leica attach equal importance to the user’s experience and actual needs, pay more attention to quality from the user’s point of view, and pay more attention to aesthetics and humanistic feelings, so the cooperation between the two sides will be so efficient and successful.

In the cooperation, the dedication and seriousness of Leica engineers left a deep impression on Xiaomi engineers.

At the beginning of the cooperation, Xiaomi sent a Xiaomi 11 Ultra mobile phone to Florian, a Leica camera expert, and happened to meet Florian on vacation. Unexpectedly, in the first week after he came back from vacation, he sent a 128-page image quality evaluation report PPT-the result of his vacation with his mobile phone.

Before each meeting with Xiaomi, Leica engineers will communicate relevant information, reports or target maps internally. After the meeting, they will hold another round of resumption and planning meeting. Minutes of each meeting are very detailed and can be issued immediately after the meeting; Reports and materials used in the meeting will also be sent out before 24: 00 on time.

Every time the Xiaomi project team puts forward a product functional requirement, the Leica team will "ask three questions"-do users really need it? What benefits does this have for users? How to improve the effect of taking pictures? "Treating every question of users with caution and echoing everything is also a tacit understanding that we complement each other with the Leica team." An engineer of the Xiaomi team said.

In cooperation, collision is inevitable. According to Li Yue’s recollection, the project has to complete Leica certification for more than 200 sub-items including basic scenes and special scenes. For the Xiaomi team who is good at "grabbing time", so many projects should have "priority" to ensure that the most important problems are solved in the shortest time. But in the eyes of German engineers, every project is equally important and should go hand in hand.

In order to convince German engineers, Li Yue took advantage of the convenience of living in the same community with them, and took a walk with Leica engineer Florian at the weekend, explaining why he should give priority while walking. Walking for more than two hours, German engineers told Li Yue a message from all dimensions-NO (No), which made Li Yue unable to refute.

To Li Yue’s surprise, as soon as he started work on Monday, the German team produced a report of more than 200 pages, analyzed the importance of each certification project, and determined the problems and objectives to be solved in each project. The two sides discussed the report from morning till late at night, and finally determined the "priority" of each project. Strict management and strict requirements in research and development are the consensus of the two teams. Only by being strict and sincere can we be worthy of making friends with users.

It is said that people with the same gas field will attract each other, and the engineer culture respected by Xiaomi has made the German team find a full sense of belonging. The dedication of Xiaomi’s team won the respect and recognition of German engineers, and also changed their working methods imperceptibly.

For example, in Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, the two sides often have to discuss for most of the meeting, which often delays eating. As a result, the Leica team quickly developed the habit of bringing their own energy bars and chocolates to the meeting. For another example, at the beginning of the cooperation, Leica HR agreed that they should not work more than 7 hours a day, but after arriving in Xiaomi, they unconsciously adapted to Xiaomi’s working mode and even blurred the "concept" of vacation, and they would also do shooting tests and reports on weekends. "No one asked them to do this. I think this is a kind of like-mindedness." Li Yue said.

Youth is fleeting, but style lasts forever.

Leica is far more beautiful than it looks at first sight. It is durable, and you can look at it again-this is Leica’s confidence.

Clearly know and insist on what to do and what not to do, without losing focus and being disturbed by noise-this is Xiaomi’s certainty.

Simpler and purer, Xiaomi’s understanding of a good photo has also become Xiaomi’s unique image quality style through excellent lens and precise interactive solidification, making future moving images more "millet flavor". This cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica has been well received, which is a model of the perfect combination of innovation and quality of Xiaomi.

Just now! Biden, big announcement!

On the first day of September, good news came from the Middle East.

On September 1st, Reuters reported that US President Joe Biden told reporters in Hobosbeach, Delaware that he was "still optimistic" about reaching a ceasefire agreement to end the conflict. "I think we are close to reaching an agreement," he said. "It’s time to end this war."

From today on, Gaza has ushered in a brief peace. According to the World Health Organization, the Israeli military and Hamas have agreed to divide the Gaza into three areas, each of which will suspend fighting for three days in order to vaccinate 640,000 children in Gaza with the first round of polio vaccine. Vaccination activities began on September 1st.

The humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza has rekindled hopes for the almost stalled Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire negotiations. The White House recently said that it hopes to make a breakthrough in reaching a ceasefire agreement, which is in line with the three-stage ceasefire negotiation plan announced by US President Biden at the end of May. US media reported that American and Israeli officials said that negotiations would continue in Cairo and Doha this week.

Biden has the latest statement on the ceasefire.

On September 1st, Reuters reported that US President Joe Biden told reporters in Hobosbeach, Delaware that he was "still optimistic" about reaching a ceasefire agreement to end the conflict.

"I think we are close to reaching an agreement," he said. "It’s time to end this war."

Biden added, "People are continuing to meet. We think we can reach an agreement, and they all agree with these principles. "

According to reports, Israel claimed that many bodies were found in the fighting in Gaza, and the Israeli military is conducting salvage and identification work on the bodies, which will take several hours.

This discovery means that some of the approximately 100 hostages still held there may have died.

Israel asked the public not to spread rumors about the identity of the body.

Biden said that his staff kept in touch with the Israelis and confirmed that they had found the body in Gaza. He wasn’t sure about the exact number of bodies. Biden added that he has no right to confirm the identity of the body at present.

Biden told reporters in Hobos Beach, Delaware: "There is a lot of speculation about who they are and their names. At present, I have no right to disclose this information before notifying the families of the deceased. "

Gaza’s Ministry of Health said in a statement on Saturday that since October 7 last year, Israeli military attacks on the Gaza have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians and injured about 94,000 others.

According to CCTV news client, on August 31st, local time, Israeli people and relatives of Israeli detainees held a large-scale protest in Tel Aviv, calling on the Israeli government to take immediate action to reach a ceasefire agreement with Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and release Israeli detainees as soon as possible.

A rare temporary ceasefire

On August 31st, Global Times quoted Reuters as saying that pipper Cohen, the representative of the World Health Organization in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, issued a statement at the United Nations Headquarters on the 29th, saying that the Israeli military and Hamas had agreed to divide the Gaza into three areas, each of which would suspend fighting for three days, so as to vaccinate 640,000 Gaza children with the first round of polio vaccine.

According to the report, pipper Cohen said that the vaccination campaign will start on September 1st. According to the agreement, the Israeli army and Hamas will cease fire for three days in the central Gaza, then for three days in the southern Gaza and finally for three days in the northern Gaza.

He said that the two sides are welcome to "initially promise to implement a temporary humanitarian ceasefire in specific areas". "We need these humanitarian suspensions and hope that all parties can abide by this, otherwise it will be impossible to carry out vaccination activities."

Pipper Cohen also said that three days "may not be enough to achieve adequate vaccination", and vaccination activities in each region will be extended by one day if necessary.

Polio, which mainly affects children under 5 years old, can lead to irreversible paralysis and even death. It is highly contagious and cannot be cured. WHO says it can only be prevented by immunization.

According to CNN, Israeli officials said that Israel had agreed to start polio vaccination in Gaza from September 1st.

A US official told CNN that US Secretary of State Blinken urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a vaccination campaign in Gaza last week. Netanyahu agreed to cooperate with the United States on relevant details. However, the Israel Times quoted a source as saying on the 30th that the temporary ceasefire area does not include the area where the IDF is currently operating.

There are variables in ceasefire negotiations.

The humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza has rekindled hopes for the almost stalled Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire negotiations.

The White House recently said that it hopes to make a breakthrough in reaching a ceasefire agreement, which is in line with the three-stage ceasefire negotiation plan announced by US President Biden at the end of May.

The American Axios website reported on the 29th that American and Israeli officials said that negotiations would continue in Cairo and Doha this week. Although no breakthrough has been made in the negotiations, American officials said that they are encouraged that the negotiations can continue and have prevented the tension between Israel and Hezbollah or Iran from escalating.

However, judging from the latest situation, the short-term ceasefire may break down again at any time. On 30th, Israeli military operations continued in Gaza.

The Israeli military said on the 30th that in the past 24 hours, it attacked 30 targets in Gaza and "wiped out" dozens of habas militants. Reuters said that on the evening of 29th, Israeli troops attacked a car of the American Middle East Aid and Development Association in an air raid on southern Gaza, killing five people. Just a few hours before the air raid, Israeli soldiers also opened fire on a World Food Program vehicle with the United Nations logo. The State Council called these attacks "deeply disturbing" and said that "humanitarian workers are there to help innocent civilians, and Israel must ensure their protection".

Israel’s large-scale military operations in some towns and refugee camps in the West Bank entered its third day on the 30th, killing at least 19 Palestinians. The United Nations warned that the Israeli military action in the West Bank "worsened the already critical situation in the region".

Egypt’s Dawn newspaper said on the 30th that, in fact, Israel’s "iron fist policy" has not been loosened. According to the report, the Palestinian-Israeli issue is not a pain that can be cured by a single dose of vaccine, but requires in-depth political dialogue and practical solutions. In this chaotic land, the real long-term peace is still out of reach, and the short-term ceasefire may break again at any time.

Israel’s air strikes against Syria have their own words: it’s all your fault.

  On the 10th, the Israeli military said that the Israeli stronghold in the Golan Heights was attacked by Iranian rocket launchers in Syria in the early morning. The Israeli army then attacked targets in Syria.

  Syrian officials say that the Syrian army is trying to resist Israeli attacks.

  However, Israel and Syria have different narratives, which cannot be confirmed for the time being.

  [Rocket bombardment]

  Israeli military spokesman Jonathan Konrikus said that at around 0: 10 on the 10th, several Israeli military positions in the Golan Heights were attacked by Iranian "Hail" and "Dawn" rockets, and about 20 rockets struck, triggering an air defense alarm.

  Konrikus told reporters that some of the rockets were intercepted by the Israeli "Iron Dome" air defense system. "We have not received any reports of casualties. According to the existing assessment, the losses are not great."

  He identified the "Al-Quds Army" under the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to launch an attack in Syrian territory. "The attack was ordered and commanded by (Commander-in-Chief of the Al-Quds Army) Qassem Sulejmani … … Did not achieve the goal. "

  Israel decided that the attack was "very serious" and took revenge. He said, "This matter is not over yet."

  [Syrian troops open fire]

  Before dawn on the 10th, an explosion sounded in Damascus, the capital of Syria. The official Syrian Arab News Agency reported that several air defense positions, a radar station and an arsenal were attacked by Israeli missiles.

  The Syrian air defense system intercepted "Israeli enemy missiles" over the southwest of Damascus earlier on the 10th, the Syrian News Agency reported. A few hours later, the state-run Syrian news TV showed the air defense system firing into the air, and the loud explosion and firing continued all night.

  An Internet video shows shrapnel flying in the air after a huge explosion. Local residents said that the noise shook the building.

  Syrian media reported that Israel first attacked Fuxing City in Quneitra province on the Syrian-Israeli border, and then attacked several military strongholds in Suweida province in southern Syria and near Homs in central Syria.

  The Syrian army immediately launched a counterattack. The Square TV station in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, reported that the Syrian army fired at least 50 missiles at the Israeli army in the Golan Heights. Syrian news TV said that the missile was aimed at 10 military targets.

  The Syrian media said that this is the first time that Syria has opened fire on the Israeli army in the Golan Heights for many years.

  [Claim by Israel]

  Israel rarely "claimed" a missile attack on the 10th. The Israeli military said that it had attacked "dozens" of Iranian targets in Syria in retaliation for the Iranian attack on the Golan Heights.

  Israel said that the targets of the attack included the Iranian army’s arsenal, logistics facilities and intelligence center in Syria; The Israeli army destroyed several Syrian air defense systems in the crossfire, and the Syrian army fired dozens of air defense missiles at the Israeli army, but they did not hit.

  An Israeli military spokesman said that the Russian side was notified before the attack on the 10th.

  A civil war broke out in Syria in 2011, and Iran sent troops into Syria to help Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fight against opposition forces. Israel is worried that Iran’s long-term military presence in Syria will endanger Israel’s security and often attack Iranian targets in Syria. The Associated Press reported that Israel is believed to have launched more than 100 attacks on suspected Iranian targets in Syria in the past seven years.

  The Iraqi side identified Israel’s air strike on the Syrian air base on April 9, killing seven Iranians and vowing revenge. Before the attack on the Golan Heights, Syrian officials identified Israel as launching missiles at the Kiswe area south of Damascus on the 8th, killing 15 people, including 8 Iranians.

  It is unclear about the Syrian and Iraqi casualties caused by the attack on the 10 th. (Liu Xiuling) (special feature of Xinhua News Agency)

Iran holds 11th "Sky Guard" air force military exercise

  On the evening of the 23rd local time, the Iranian army held the 11th "Sky Guard" air force military exercise, which covered multiple military bases across Iran. All kinds of bombers, fighter jets, drones, electronic warfare systems, etc. participated in the exercise.

  Rudebari, spokesperson for the military exercise, said that in the first stage of the exercise, after the Iranian Su-24 bomber successfully bombed simulated enemy positions, the F-4 bomber used night raids and launched a missile to successfully destroy enemy ground targets. In addition, during the exercise that day, the tanker successfully refueled the F-14 fighter at low altitude.

  It can be seen that Chery is ready to make full efforts in the layout of new energy field through iCAR brand. The first product iCAR 03 is also unusual, and the positioning of hard-core SUV is still relatively rare in the current market. As a latecomer, whether iCAR brand can open up the situation through differentiated competition and embark on a development path with its own characteristics remains to be seen.
