Samsung Denies Faking Moon Photos, Claims AI Enhances Image Quality and Colors
Samsung has recently been accused of faking moon photos taken by the Galaxy S23 Ultra. However, the company has denied these claims and explained that the phone uses AI-based scene optimization technology to recognize the moon as the main object and take multiple shots for multi-frame composition. The AI then enhances the details of the image quality and colors, resulting in the detailed moon photos that users have been capturing with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Users can deactivate the AI-based Scene Optimizer, which will disable automatic detail enhancements to the photos taken by the user. The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s space-related model uses AI/ML (neural network trained on 100s of images of the moon) to recover/add the texture of the moon on users’ moon pictures. While some may think that this is simply the camera’s capability, Samsung explained that it’s not. The processing done by the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s AI is likely figuring out what detail should be added based on images of the moon it’s previously been fed.
While the result may not be a true representation of what the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera sensors can capture, Samsung argues that the moon shots are enhanced with details the camera can’t see or detect. In other words, the Galaxy S23 Ultra and its AI are adding detail and artificially enhancing moon photos, but it’s not simply faking it with a different image.
Ultimately, whether you consider these enhancements acceptable or not is a matter of personal preference. However, Samsung maintains that it is committed to delivering the best-in-class photo experiences in any condition, and the AI-based scene optimization technology is a part of that commitment.
