However, in low light, shots on a smartphone are pretty much off, as digital noise remains a problem. But, a team of Google researchers came along with a new AI tool that could change the way of photography in every aspect.<br />RawNeRF is part of the larger MultiNeRF project that uses NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) to scan a collection of images and reconstruct a 3D scene render. Earlier this year, Google Research presented its work on RawNeRF at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVRP) 2022 conference.<br /><div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="91983137" title="Researchers found an effective way of detecting jaundice in newborns using a smartphone app" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br />This technology seems very similar to the movie scene in Iron Man 3, where Tony Stark uses 3D images to recreate a street explosion.<br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How does it work?" comment="subhead" text="How does it work?"><span data-til="noop">How does it work?</span></cmsannotation><br />RawNeRF uses raw images taken from different camera positions, exposure and focus. RawNeRF combines images taken from different camera viewpoints and combines them to denoise and reconstruct a scene using AI. To enhance the picture, AI manipulates the focus, exposure and tone mapping, says Google researcher <keyword id="14809938" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ben-mildenhall" source="Orion">Ben Mildenhall</keyword> in a video below.<br /><div type="Youtube" id="JtBS4KBcKVc" title="NeRF in the Dark: High Dynamic Range View Synthesis from Noisy Raw Images" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JtBS4KBcKVc/mqdefault.jpg"><url><![CDATA[https://youtu.be/JtBS4KBcKVc]]></url></div><br />RawNeRF can also handle scenes with a large dynamic range, switching focus and manipulating exposure levels and shooting angles. <br /><div type="image" title="Raw image" msid="93793124" hostid="261" sizebytes="109342"></div><div type="image" title="3D image" msid="93793156" hostid="261" sizebytes="44738"></div><br />The secret behind RawNeRF is not just manipulation with exposure level or denoising, it's how the AI is trained. The RawNeRF tool is trained in such a way that it gathers data from raw images rather than standard JPEG format. Captured raw images have more detail than standard photos, and those details can be used to enhance the image in post-processing.<br />Will the RawNeRF AI tool will come to our smartphone camera in the near future? This is a tough question to answer, but using the RawNeRF AI tool in smartphone cameras will completely change the perspective of smartphone photography.<br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:<br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/research/news/this-herb-is-the-magic-fertilizer-needed-to-grow-vegetables-on-mars/articleshow/93635777.cms">This herb is the magic fertilizer needed to grow vegetables on Mars</a><br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/research/news/drdo-has-developed-a-facial-recognition-system-that-claims-to-see-through-masks-and-disguise/articleshow/93726351.cms"><strong>DRDO has developed a facial recognition system that claims to see through masks and disguise</strong></a><br />

"Of the 11,900, nearly 5,600 service members will be repositioned within <keyword id="6371298" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="NATO">NATO</keyword> countries, and approximately 6,400 will return to the United States, though many of these or similar units will begin conducting rotational deployments back to Europe."</p><p>Outlining the moves, Esper said that US military headquarters units would be consolidated in locations outside Germany — in some cases in the same location as their NATO counterparts in Belgium and Italy — which "strengthen NATO and improve operational efficiency."</p><p><div type="image" title="Army soldiers cavalry Germany" height="1660" width="2500" msid="77249338" hostid="261"></div></p><p>Moving the headquarters of <keyword id="2553429" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="US-European-Command">US European Command</keyword> from Germany to Mons in Belgium puts it in the same place as NATO Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe and will "improve the speed and clarity of our decision-making and promote greater operational alignment," Gen. Tod Wolters, head of US European Command, said at the briefing.</p><p>Esper said the Army's 2nd Cavalry Regiment would return to the US, "as other Stryker units begin continuous rotations farther east in the Black Sea region," which would "enhance deterrence and reassure allies along NATO's southeastern plank."</p><p>Moving those 4,500 soldiers back to the US "will allow those units to regain maximum US at-home station readiness and more effectively support global contingencies while still maintaining a keen focus on Europe," Wolters added.</p><p>Esper also said that 2,500 airmen based in Mildenhall in the UK, where they conduct aerial refueling and special operations, will stay in the UK rather than making a scheduled relocation to Germany, "ensuring the uninterrupted readiness and responsiveness of these units."</p><p>Air Force F-16 units will also be moved from Germany to Italy, Esper said, "moving them closer to the Black Sea region and better capable of conducting dynamic force implements and rotational deployments to NATO's southeastern flank."</p><p>The plan also eventually moves the Army's new Fifth Corps headquarters to Poland, Esper said, adding that "there are or may be other options as well to move additional forces in Poland and the Baltics."</p><p>Esper didn't have a precise estimate of the costs, saying it would be in the "single digits" of billions of dollars and be spread out over time. "We could see some moves begin within weeks," Esper added. "Others will take longer."</p><h2>'We don't want to be the suckers'</h2><p><div type="image" title="merkel and trump" height="666" width="1024" msid="77249342" hostid="261"></div></p><p>Planning to reposition US forces in Europe began "several months ago" and is part of a broader review of US combatant commands, which oversee military operations in specific areas of the world, Esper said, adding that a half-dozen such reviews are underway.</p><p>But President Donald Trump's ire with Germany over what he says is inadequate defense spending is seen as the driving factor behind the changes. On Wednesday, Trump was asked what message the changes sent to <keyword id="6358826" type="LOCATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Russia">Russia</keyword> and answered by railing against Germany.</p><p>"Germany is supposed to pay for" the US troop presence there, "and Germany's not paying for it. So why should we leave them?" Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/evanmcmurry/status/1288502421082329088?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters</a>, repeating <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-nato-budget-is-funded-2018-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a frequent but inaccurate criticism</a> of NATO budgeting.</p><p>"We don't want to be the suckers anymore," Trump added. "We're protecting Germany, so we're reducing the force because they're not paying their bills. It's very simple. They're delinquent."</p><p><div type="image" title="US Army Abrams tank Germany" height="1534" width="2725" msid="77249344" hostid="261"></div></p><p>Asked Wednesday about Trump's seeming grudge toward Germany, Esper admitted the European Command review "was accelerated" by Trump's decision in June to reduce US forces in Germany but said Berlin "can and should pay more to its defense" and even exceed the 2%-of-GDP threshold that NATO members agreed to reach by 2024.</p><p>Neither Belgium nor Italy have reached that 2% threashold.</p><p>Critics argue the changes and the way Trump is making them <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pulling-us-troops-out-of-germany-a-posible-russia-win-2020-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">undermine NATO and embolden Russia</a>, which sees the US military presence in Europe as a strategic challenge.</p><p>"Our security comes from a strong alliance and forward-based forces," Ben Hodges, who commanded the US Army in Europe before retiring in 2017, <a href="https://twitter.com/general_ben/status/1288498320676192256" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said Wednesday</a>. "You can't 'take care of America' without strong Allies ... or with US-based troops only."</p><p>Some experts believe a reassessment of US military posture in Europe is overdue but caution that the manner in which Trump is conducting it may undercuts benefits it could bring.</p><p>"What we need is a genuine reevaluation of American troop presence in Europe, burden-sharing problems in NATO, and American strategic priorities," Emma Ashford, an expert on defense and foreign policy at the Cato Institute think tank, <a href="https://twitter.com/EmmaMAshford/status/1288469819554238464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said Wednesday</a>. "This is just a toddler's temper tantrum."</p><p>"Contrary to what the Pentagon now says, there's no real evidence this was does as a result of careful review as opposed to presidential whim, but that doesn't make it a bad idea," said Ben Friedman, policy director at Defense Priorities, a group that advocates restraint in US foreign policy.</p>
