Google's Camera Updates Will Soon Let Apps Like Instagram Capture Ultra HDR Images: Here's Why It's Important
Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google has been testing the integration of Ultra HDR image capture into a limited camera API for Android 14.
谷歌母公司Alphabet Inc.(纳斯达克代码：GOOG，纳斯达克代码：GOOGL)一直在测试将Ultra HDR图像捕捉集成到Android 14的有限摄像头API中。
What Happened: This API is designed to meet the basic camera needs of social media apps like Instagram. Once these changes are available to developers, users will be able to capture and upload Ultra HDR images to these platforms without needing a separate app, reported Android Authority.
发生了什么事: 这个API旨在满足像Instagram这样的社交媒体应用的基本摄像头需求。一旦这些更改对开发人员可用，用户将能够在这些平台上捕捉和上传Ultra HDR图像，而无需另一款应用程序(Android Authority报道)。
Google announced at its I/O 2024 developer conference earlier this year that it would update its CameraX library to support Ultra HDR image capture.
今年早些时候，Google在其 I/O 2024开发者大会上宣布，将更新其CameraX库以支持Ultra HDR图像捕捉。
Initial support for Ultra HDR capture was added to CameraX with version 1.4.0-alpha05 released in April. The full version 1.4.0 of CameraX will introduce new output format APIs to the ImageCapture and ImageCaptureCapabilities classes.
CameraX的版本1.4.0-alpha05于4月发布，初步支持Ultra HDR拍摄功能。CameraX的完整版本1.4.0还将在ImageCapture和ImageCaptureCapabilities类中引入新的输出格式API。
According to the API description, these images will appear as standard JPEG files on older apps or devices with SDR displays, while they will be displayed in HDR on apps and devices that have been fully updated to support the format.
根据API描述，这些图像将在老旧的应用或具有SDR显示的设备上显示为标准的JPEG文件，而在完全更新以支持该格式的应用和设备上将显示为HDR。
Currently, only a few apps, including Google Chrome, fully support Ultra HDR. Devices capable of displaying Ultra HDR images properly include Samsung's Galaxy S24 series, Google's Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 series, and OnePlus 12 and Open.
目前，仅有一些应用程序包括谷歌Chrome完全支持Ultra HDR。能够适当显示Ultra HDR图像的设备包括三星Galaxy S24系列，谷歌Pixel 7和Pixel 8系列以及OnePlus 12和Open。
Why It Matters: The quality of images and videos from third-party apps on Android has been a concern for a long time, with users complaining the most about output from Snap Inc.'s Snapchat.
为什么这很重要: Android上第三方应用程序的图像和视频质量一直是一个问题，用户最常抱怨的是Snap Inc.的Snapchat输出质量。
While Google has already made some progress in tackling this issue, this new update takes its work a step further. Developers will still have to opt-in to this API to make use of this feature, so the final burden still lies with them.
虽然谷歌已经在解决这个问题上取得了一些进展，但这个新的更新将其工作推向了更深的一步。开发者仍然需要选择这个API来使用这个功能，因此最终的责任仍然在他们身上。
In April this year, Google parent Alphabet reported a 15% year-over-year increase in first-quarter revenue, reaching $80.539 billion and surpassing the consensus estimate of $78.594 billion.
今年4月，谷歌母公司Alphabet报告称，第一季度的营业收入同比增长15%，达到了805.39亿美元，超过了预期的785.94亿美元。
The company also reported quarterly earnings of $1.89 per share, exceeding analyst expectations of $1.51 per share.
该公司还报告了每股1.89美元的季度收益，超过了分析师预期的每股1.51美元。
