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.(納斯達克代碼：GOOG，納斯達克代碼：GOOGL)一直在測試將Ultra HDR圖像捕捉集成到Android 14的有限攝像頭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.
發生了什麼事: 這個API旨在滿足像Instagram這樣的社交媒體應用的基本攝像頭需求。一旦這些更改對開發人員可用，用戶將能夠在這些平台上捕捉和上傳Ultra HDR圖像，而無需另一款應用程序(Android Authority報道)。
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.
今年早些時候，Google在其 I/O 2024開發者大會上宣佈，將更新其CameraX庫以支持Ultra HDR圖像捕捉。
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於4月發佈，初步支持Ultra HDR拍攝功能。CameraX的完整版本1.4.0還將在ImageCapture和ImageCaptureCapabilities類中引入新的輸出格式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.
根據API描述，這些圖像將在老舊的應用或具有SDR顯示的設備上顯示爲標準的JPEG文件，而在完全更新以支持該格式的應用和設備上將顯示爲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，僅有一些應用程序包括谷歌Chrome完全支持Ultra HDR。能夠適當顯示Ultra HDR圖像的設備包括三星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.
爲什麼這很重要: Android上第三方應用程序的圖像和視頻質量一直是一個問題，用戶最常抱怨的是Snap Inc.的Snapchat輸出質量。
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.
雖然谷歌已經在解決這個問題上取得了一些進展，但這個新的更新將其工作推向了更深的一步。開發者仍然需要選擇這個API來使用這個功能，因此最終的責任仍然在他們身上。
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報告稱，第一季度的營業收入同比增長15%，達到了805.39億美元，超過了預期的785.94億美元。
The company also reported quarterly earnings of $1.89 per share, exceeding analyst expectations of $1.51 per share.
該公司還報告了每股1.89美元的季度收益，超過了分析師預期的每股1.51美元。
