It is impossible to say that the laboratory will be built immediately, but the research and development has already begun. The software for image processing was handed over to Hongxin Software Development Company, and the chip was handed over to the chip R&D group, a newly formed team that mainly researched laser imaging, optical sensors and image display equipment.

It's not difficult to build a mobile phone camera, but it's hard to improve the pixels, image processing, and smart focus.

Just like the camera, which is also claimed to be 12 million pixels, the images taken with Apple mobile phones look better than ordinary domestic mobile phones, and the main reason is the gap in image processing technology.

In the laboratory, Lu Zixin was giving guidance to Hongxin's R&D team, and a group of R&D people in the professional field were listening quietly.

"The first thing we need to tackle now is in three directions. Lu Zixin said, "The first one is the under-screen camera. ”

"Hongxin's current smart phones still can't avoid having a 'forehead' on the mobile phone screen, which is a bit backward compared with other full-screen mobile phones. Make an under-screen camera to liberate the screen and give users a better visual experience. ”

A R&D person said: "Mr. Lu, according to our current technology, at most reduce both sides of the 'forehead' of the mobile phone and leave a bang." ”

"That's why we need to study it. Lu Zixin said, "This is the first. ”

"The second is intelligent zoom and focusing. He continued, "Not only did we have to hide the phone's camera under the screen, but we also had to keep it consistent with the thickness of the phone, without a protruding feeling. When shooting, I can zoom and focus intelligently. Let ordinary people who don't know how to take pictures enjoy the fun of photography and shoot professional-grade images!"

Hearing Lu Zixin say these two points, the R&D personnel all showed embarrassed looks. These problems are easy to say, but they are too difficult to develop. An under-screen camera involves enough technology and problems for them to study for several years, let alone make a small and intelligent camera.

"The third is laser projection. With projection equipment, it is possible to form an image in the air or develop a miniature projection instrument that directly projects light and shadow images onto the user's retina for imaging. ”

Lu Zixin saw that everyone was already bitter melon faces, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I will study with you for half a month, and find ways to solve any problems together." ”

The R&D team is beating drums in their hearts, which are the three problems? Just list them, and there will be thousands of detailed problems!

Whenever they encounter some important hurdles, Mr. Lu or the company will provide some important reference materials or instruments to let them break through the difficulties and continue to move forward.

Lu Zixin communicated with the R&D team for more than half a month, and then went to Jiangcheng to check the progress of software development.

"Facial recognition software has been initially successful, and image processing is also being carried out. is the aspect of intelligent voice assistant, which is relatively poor. Liang Song said.

Hongxin Software Development Co., Ltd. has been handed over to Liang Song for a year, and during this year, in addition to computer housekeeping, Hongxin has also developed Hongxin's web browser, game platform, HX mobile phone system, and various APPs of Hongxin mobile phone, which can be described as a significant contribution.

"What's missing?" Lu Zixin asked.

"In the intelligent voice assistant software, it is not difficult to convert speech recognition into computer information, and we have mastered relatively mature technology. The difficulty is to intelligently process the received information, simply put, the core of this software is a low-level "artificial intelligence". ”

Liang Song said: "What we are missing now is this low-level artificial intelligence, so the project team is making every effort to develop Hongxin's intelligent information processing system." Now the research and development is always unsatisfactory, too stupid. ”

"I don't know what the situation is, show me. Lu Zixin said.

"Okay, go to the project department of the cloud host, the project team is there. Liang Songgang said.

He took Lu Zixin to the project department, where the number of employees has expanded from dozens to more than 100 people, and the level is not low.

"Mr. Liang!" Han Jia, the project leader and top programmer, came to say hello.

"This is, Mr. Lu?" Han Jia joined at the beginning of this year, and he had never met Lu Zixin.

"Yes, Mr. Lu wants to take a look at the intelligent information processing system we have developed and show Mr. Lu!" Liang Song said.

"Of course you can, this system, we named it Hongxin Cloud System, referred to as Red Cloud. Han Jia introduced as he walked, "Now Internet companies are conducting cloud data analysis and calculation, in order to obtain the dividends brought by "information data". It's the trend and the trend. Our Hongxin is no exception, not to mention that Hongxin also has a powerful cloud host!"

"Hongxin cloud system can carry out simple analysis and processing according to user big data. It can meet some daily requirements. For example, simple conversations, open relationships and other functions, or quick searches, queries and the like. ”

These functions mentioned by Han Jia are actually almost able to be achieved by other companies' intelligent information processing systems. If it was just that, Lu Zixin was not satisfied.

When they arrived at the place, this is several specially designed computer equipment for human-computer interaction, which can carry out speech recognition, and the main body of the Hongxin cloud system is here.

"Xiao Song, show Mr. Lu some of the functions of our Hongxin Cloud system now. Han Jia beckoned, and a young employee came.

"Mr. Lu is good, Mr. Liang is good! My name is Song Yue. Song Yue said hello first.

"Let's get started. Lu Zixin said.

"Hmm. Song Yue nodded, and then said: "The name of our Hongxin Cloud system is 'Red Cloud', and it can first of all be used for daily voice communication. ”

"Hongyun, hello!" Song Yue shouted into the device.

A simple image appears on the device, a cartoon image, with lips changing lines, and a feminine electronic synthesized voice that says, "Hello, Song Yue." ”

Song Yue introduced Lu Zixin: "It identified my identity through the face 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?" replied Hongyun according to the set program.

"Eat. Red clouds, help me check the weather today. After Song Yue finished speaking, Hongyun began to search for information, and then replied: "Today is cloudy, the highest temperature of the day is 17 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to wear jackets, jackets, etc., the air index is 82 good, you can participate in outdoor activities normally......"
