Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): Revolutionizing image and video analysis, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become a cornerstone in computer vision. With their ability…

Nadeem Sarwar / Digital Trends It seems Apple is finally ready to play the megapixels game. After serving 12-megapixel camera arrays on its smartphones for a healthy few generations, Apple finally put a 48MP sensor on the iPhone 14 Pro pair. A year later, the entire iPhone 15 series got the same treatment. According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, that momentum will continue with the iPhone 16 series. In an investor note, Kuo claims that the iPhone 16 Pro duo will get a new 48MP ultrawide-angle camera sensor — a…

PC gaming is filled with jargon that mixes together marketable names with scientific descriptions to create a pile of terms that are next to impossible to decipher. Knowing the vocabulary of graphics terms is important for optimizing your performance, understanding your games, and tweaking your graphics menus, and we’re here to define all of the labels flying around. We’re focusing on terms that you’ll find commonly in games that don’t have an obvious definition — we trust you can figure out what “reflection quality”…

I’ve written optimized settings for dozens of PC games, painstakingly tweaking them to recommend the ultimate bang-for-your-buck performance. That experience can vary wildly too — with some of the most demanding PC games will bring your graphics card to its knees, regardless of the settings you tweak, and titles like the annual Call of Duty release are so bogged down with settings that it’s hard to know where to start. And although every title is a little different, there are a few key rules I always keep in mind…

A couple of days ago, artificial intelligence researchers at Meta said that they have made significant progress in building computer vision models, a new AI architecture that can learn about the world from visual cues instead of logic and data, to help them mimic how humans learn about the world and accelerate their training. This emerging field of AI is known as computer vision and it derives meaningful information from digital images, videos, and other visual inputs. And whether you are already working in this field or…

Eight years ago, the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency organized a painful-to-watch contest that involved robots slowly struggling (and often failing) to perform a series of human tasks, including opening doors, operating power tools, and driving golf carts. Clips of them fumbling and stumbling through the Darpa Robotics Challenge soon went viral.DARPA via Will KnightToday the descendants of those hapless robots are a lot more capable and graceful. Several startups are developing humanoids that they…

The Redmi Note is one of Xiaomi’s bestselling smartphone ranges ever. While it started out by offering reasonably good specifications at great pricing, the lineup has since diversified into countless different models, which are not easy to keep track of. The higher end of the Redmi Note series now leans into the territory of subpremium phones. The Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus begs your attention with impressive specifications, such as 120-watt superfast charging, a 200MP camera, incredible 120Hz AMOLED displays with Dolby…

Sony just announced its latest Spatial Reality Display, the ELF-SR2, which displays a stereoscopic image you can see without needing special glasses. Sony’s new generation of 4K-resolution spatial displays is bigger and better than ever. Face-tracking, 3D display technology isn’t new, but the display size makes this latest offering notable. Sony The ELF-SR2’s 27-inch display eclipses the previous generation’s 15.6-inch screen, a much more appealing size for the professional creators Sony is targeting. The…

During its State of Unreal address at GDC 2023, Epic announced a wide-ranging suite of features for Unreal Engine 5.2. But perhaps the most important feature coming in the updated engine doesn’t relate to lighting, geometry detail, or ray tracing. It’s all about performance. Unreal Engine games, rightly or wrongly, have been associated with stuttering and hitches over the past few years. With the new release, Epic is finally tackling the problem head-on, so I thought it was high time to break down why Unreal games so…

Resident Evil 4 Remake is undoubtedly one of the most visually impressive PC releases we’ve seen in the past few years. Leveraging the highly scalable RE Engine, the game looks great while accommodating a wide range of hardware. In this guide, we’re going to help you find the best settings. In addition to the flexible engine, Resident Evil 4 Remake includes upscaling options and ray tracing to push high-end rigs to their limit. I’ve spent a few hours testing the game to dig into how ray tracing performs, what the…
