MediaTek has officially announced that it will join a Xiaomi to launch the new chip together Dimension 8200 Ultra. It is reported that the Dimension 8200 Ultra is not only a high-performance chip, but also a specialized imaging core tailored.
Official MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultra: The chip brings major improvements in imaging
According to official data, this deep cooperation between MediaTek and Xiaomi not only fully revealed the strength of the Dimension 8200 mobile platform, but also successfully implemented a large number of imaging functions of Xiaomi on the Dimension chip for the first time, bringing more features to users and a better video recording experience.
For a long time, Xiaomi Imaging has been promoting the development of mobile imaging field with its deep accumulation of algorithms. Between these, "Xiaomi Imaging Brain“, as the core algorithm, has won industry recognition in many technical fields such as portraits, snapshots, and night scenes. In the CVPR competition known as the “Image Algorithm Industry Olympics,” he won four world championships in one fell swoop.
At the same time, MediaTek also has rich experience and technical reserves in the field of mobile imaging. This deep cooperation between the two sides is regarded as a strong alliance in the mobile imaging circle. MediaTek uses Dimensity's open architecture to produce a series of interfaces that can be coupled with Xiaomi's imaging "brain", realizing full access to imaging capabilities. Its parallel processing architecture and multi-module heterogeneous processing are the core of the snapshot architecture. on Xiaomi Mi 3, Xiaomi for the first time simulated and abstracted this instantaneous architecture into a more versatile compatibility layer, also known as the "cross-platform middle layer".
The emergence of the cross-platform middle tier not only allows Xiaomi's imaging brain to quickly and easily adapt to the existing Dimensity mobile platform, but also eliminates the need for targeted adaptation in the face of the constantly updated Dimensity mobile platform in the future, which accelerates the development process considerably.
Furthermore, this new and extraordinary collaboration between MediaTek and Xiaomi can be understood through the two concepts of operators and algorithms. The relationship between operators and algorithms can be abstractly understood as ideas and tools. The algorithm will give a series of ideological indications with an obvious direction, such as the point to achieve the focus effect, the skin texture for the skin softening effect, etc., and the operator is a submodule unit in the entire set of algorithms. For example, the portrait Bokeh operator, including submodules responsible for blurring, image alignment, depth information, multi-frame noise reduction, etc., can be called an operator.
In this joint definition, more than 30 operators of Xiaomi Imaging Brain have been fully upgraded and accelerated on Dimensity 8200 Ultra, and various features of Xiaomi Imaging Brain can be stored and retrieved at any time, thus achieving excellent image and picture processing effect. excellent power consumption performance.
Finally, under the double optimization of Xiaomi Imaging Brain Framework access and operator acceleration, 38 functions of Xiaomi Imaging landed on the Dimension mobile platform for the first time. Compared to Xiaomi Mi 2, the two companies have implemented a speed optimization and an optimization of the energy consumption of the entire link. In this regard, it is worth noting that the continuous shooting speed has increased by 235% compared to the previous generation.
This collaboration between MediaTek and Xiaomi can be said to have created a great model for the mobile phone industry. MediaTek Dimensity continues to innovate and continually drives the deployment of new technologies and applications across iterations of platforms and technologies. Based on the Dimensity mobile platform, through the collaborative development of "Dimensions Open Architecture" with terminal manufacturers, customized services meet the needs of terminals to create a differentiated user experience. The full integration of "Xiaomi Imaging Brain" on the Dimensity has become a high-quality proof of R&D cooperation between MediaTek and terminal manufacturers.
