It was impossible to build the laboratory immediately, but the research and development had already started. The image processing software was handed over to Hongxin Software Development Company, and the chips were handed over to the chip research and development team. The newly formed team was mainly focused on laser imaging, optical sensors, and image display equipment.
It was not difficult to create a mobile phone camera. The difficult part was how to improve the pixels, image processing, and smart focusing.
Take video cameras for example. Both claimed to have 12 megapixels, but the images taken by Apple phones looked better than those taken by domestic phones. The main reason was the difference in image processing technology.
In the laboratory, Lu Zixin was giving guidance to Hongxin's research and development team. A group of professional researchers listened quietly.
"Our first targets now are in three directions." Lu Zixin said, "First, is the under-screen camera."
"Hongxin's current smartphones still cannot avoid the 'forehead' on the screen. Compared to other full-screen phones, it is a little behind. Create an under-screen camera to liberate the screen and give the users a better visual experience. "
One of the researchers said, "General Lu, according to our current technology, the most we can do is to reduce the 'forehead' on both sides and leave a fringe."
"That's why we need to research." Lu Zixin said, "This is the first."
"The second is the smart zoom and focus." He continued, "Not only do we have to hide the phone camera under the screen, but we also have to make it the same thickness as the phone so that there is no protrusion. When shooting, we can intelligently zoom and focus. Ordinary people who don't know how to film can also enjoy the fun of photography and shoot professional-grade images! "
Hearing these two points from Lu Zixin, the researchers had a troubled look on their faces. These problems were easy to talk about, but the difficulty of developing them was too high. The technology and problems involved in developing an under-screen camera were enough for them to research for a few years, not to mention making a small and smart camera.
"The third is laser projection. Using a projection device, we can form an image in the air or develop a miniature projection device to directly project the light and shadow image on the user's retina. "
Lu Zixin saw that everyone had a bitter expression and smiled. "Don't be afraid. I will research with you in this half a month. If we encounter any problems, we will think of ways to solve them together."
The research and development team's hearts were pounding. How could there be three problems? Just casually listing a single point, there would be tens of thousands of detailed questions!
When the actual research and development began, they realized that the research and development was not as difficult as they had imagined. Every time they encountered some important bottlenecks, President Lu or the company would provide them with some important reference materials or equipment so that they could break through the difficulties and continue to move forward. Sometimes, they even felt that the research and development was going so smoothly that it was unreasonable!
Lu Zixin communicated with the research and development team for half a month. Then, he went to Rivertown to check on the progress of the software development.
"The facial recognition software has been initially successful, and the image processing aspect is also being developed. It's just that the Intelligent Voice Assistant is a little lacking, "said Liang Song.
Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd. had been handed over to Liang Song for a year. During this year, Hongxin had developed Hongxin's web browser, gaming platform, HX mobile phone system, and various applications for Hongxin mobile phones. It could be said that Hongxin's contributions were significant.
"What's missing?" Lu Zixin asked.
"In the Intelligent Voice Assistant software, it's not difficult to convert speech recognition into computer information. We have already mastered the relatively mature technology. The difficult part is the processing of the received information. Simply put, the core of this software is a low-level 'Artificial Intelligence.' "
Liang Song said, "What we lack now is this low-level Artificial Intelligence. So, the project team is trying their best to develop Hongxin's Intelligent Information Processing System. The research and development now is not satisfactory. It's too stupid. "
"I don't know the situation just by talking about it. Bring me to see it," said Lu Zixin.
"Alright, let's go to the cloud host's project team. The project team is there," said Liang Song.
He brought Lu Zixin to the project team. The staff here had expanded from a few dozen to more than a hundred people, and their standards were not low.
"Director Liang!" The person in charge of the project, who was also a top programmer, Han Jia, came to greet him.
"This is General Lu?" Han Jia had joined the company at the beginning of the year, so he had never seen Lu Zixin in person.
"Yes, General Lu wants to see the Intelligent Information Processing System that we have developed and show it to General Lu!" Liang Song said.
"Of course, we call this system the Hongxin Cloud System, or Hongxin Cloud for short." Han Jia introduced it as they walked. "Now, Internet companies are doing cloud data analysis and calculation to obtain dividends from 'information data.' This is a trend and a trend. Hongxin is no exception. What's more, Hongxin has a powerful cloud host! "
"Hongxin Cloud System can perform simple analysis and processing based on the user's big data. It can satisfy some of the daily requirements. For example, simple conversations, opening some functions to open relationships, or fast searches, queries, and so on. "
The functions that Han Jia described could be more or less done by the Intelligent Information Processing System of other companies. If it was only this, Lu Zixin would not be satisfied.
They arrived at the place. There were a few specially designed computer equipment for human-computer interaction. It could perform voice recognition. The main body of the Hongxin Cloud System was here.
"Little Song, show General Lu some of the functions of our Hongxin Cloud System now." Han Jia waved his hand, and a young employee came over.
"Hello, General Lu, Director Liang! My name is Song Yue. "Song Yue greeted first.
"Let's begin." Lu Zixin said.
"Okay." Song Yue nodded and said, "Our Hongxin Cloud System is called 'Hongxin Cloud.' First of all, it can carry out daily voice communication."
"Hello, Hongxin Cloud!" Song Yue shouted at the equipment.
A simple image appeared on the equipment. It was a cartoon image. The lines of the lips changed, and a feminine electronic voice said, "Hello, Song Yue."
Song Yue introduced to Lu Zixin, "It identified my identity through the facial recognition system. The recognition success rate is 99%. "
"Have you eaten?" Song Yue asked again.
"I'm an artificial intelligence. I don't need to eat. Have you eaten?" Hongxin Cloud replied according to the preset program.
"Yes. Hongxin Cloud, help me check today's weather. " After Song Yue said that, Hongxin Cloud started to search for information and replied, "Today is cloudy. The highest temperature is 17 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to wear a coat or jacket. The air index is 82, you can participate in outdoor activities as usual …"
