The
prestigious CVPR (Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition), a
leading global event in computer vision, officially commenced in Seattle. This
year, OPPO made a significant impact with several of its latest research papers
being selected for presentation, encompassing a range of AI-related topics.
Moreover, OPPO's flagship AI phone, the Find X7 Ultra, and the newly launched
OPPO Reno12 were demoed at the conference, showcasing numerous innovative AI
phone features. Through these contributions, OPPO continues to influence the
global advancement and democratization of AI phone.
"OPPO
is deeply engaged in the CVPR each year, and this year, our achievements are
particularly noteworthy," stated Billy Zhang, President of Overseas MKT,
Sales and Service at OPPO. "AI has always been a pivotal area of
investment for us, and the rising trend of AI phone enables us to innovate the
user experience once again. CVPR provides an excellent platform for OPPO to
discuss and exchange ideas with global partners about our latest advancements
in computer vision and other AI-related fields. Our involvement in CVPR also
underscores OPPO's strong commitment and determination in the realm of AI
phone."
With Major Papers Selected for
Conference, OPPO AI Research is Flourishing
This
year, OPPO Research Institute and various R&D teams achieved significant
recognition with 11 papers selected for presentation at CVPR. These papers span
key research areas including image restoration, digital human generation, video
segmentation, dynamic motion capture, dynamic scene image synthesis, multi-view
3D object detection, and 3D rendering, highlighting some of the most innovative
directions in AI phone.
In
the field of digital human generation, OPPO has introduced a groundbreaking
approach with UltrAvatar—a method for creating drivable 3D virtual humans.
Utilizing a diffuse color extraction model and an authenticity-guided texture
diffusion model, UltrAvatar can generate drivable 3D virtual humans from a
single image or a line of text. These virtual humans are indistinguishable from
real human features, achieving a level of detail that captures every inch of
skin color and texture on a person’s face, significantly enhancing the realism
of virtual interactions.
Another
notable contribution, the UniVS, presents the industry’s first universal large
model for video segmentation. This model is uniquely capable of meeting diverse
real-world video segmentation needs, allowing for the segmentation of all
objects within a specified category and responding to textual descriptions for
targeted segmentation.
These
selected papers not only represent cutting-edge advancements in AI but also
position OPPO as a leader propelling the mobile industry into the AI-driven
era.
Additionally,
the CVPR 2024 NTIRE RAIM (Restore Any Image Model) challenge, co-organized by
OPPO Research Institute's Y-Lab and the Visual Computing Laboratory at the Hong
Kong Polytechnic University, was a resounding success. This challenge
encouraged researchers to address real-world industrial challenges, develop
methods for accurate high-quality image restoration, and promote the
application of these technologies in industry. The NTIRE RAIM challenge
attracted participation from over 200 teams globally. And finally, Team MiAlgo's
research emerged as the winner, clinching first place in the competition.
Going
forward, OPPO will robustly support the AI developer ecosystem, fostering close
academia-industry collaboration to bridge the two.
Find X7 Ultra Debuts at CVPR,
Sparking Interest in AI Phone Innovation
OPPO's
flagship AI phone, the Find X7 Ultra, made a remarkable debut, quickly becoming
a highlight of the event. Additionally, Liang Jie, the senior imaging algorithm
engineer at OPPO Research Institute's Y-Lab, was invited to present a report on
OPPO's imaging technology at the conference. The powerful AI imaging
capabilities of the Find X7 Ultra and OPPO's innovative generative AI
applications captivated both the academic and industrial AI communities.
This
year signifies OPPO's official foray into the AI phone era, with the Find X7
Ultra emerging as the most advanced AI phone from OPPO to date. It boasts the
OPPO HyperTone Image Engine, the most sophisticated computational photography
system currently on the market. This engine enables OPPO Find X7 Ultra to
produce exceptional photos with minimal computational footprint, turning every
shot into a masterpiece.
The
OPPO AI Eraser feature, launched alongside the Find X7 Ultra, showcased to CVPR
attendees OPPO's ability to seamlessly integrate AI technology into consumer
devices for user-friendly experiences. The OPPO AI Eraser allows users to
easily remove unwanted elements from an image and generate replacement content
with a single click. Since its introduction, this feature has revolutionized
photo editing, averaging 15 uses per day per user, making it one of the most
popular features.
OPPO
also showcased several exploratory features through real device demos at CVPR,
highlighting the future direction of OPPO's AI technologies. Among these was
the Style Transfer Demo, which utilizes the ShaderNN lightweight deep learning
architecture. ShaderNN represents the first inference engine supporting the
full graphics stack (OpenGL & Vulkan) for real-time mobile graphics and
imaging applications, showcasing OPPO's strengths in on-device generative
graphics AI processing.
Solidifying Foundations,
Continuously Promoting the Democratization of AI Phone
At
the beginning of the year, OPPO strategically established OPPO AI Center,
directing company resources towards enhancing AI capabilities. This initiative
has not only integrated and strengthened OPPO's research across various AI
fields but also aimed to deliver the ultimate AI phone experience. It has
bolstered OPPO's technical foundation in the AI phone sector and showcased
impressive research outcomes at this year's CVPR.
This
year's CVPR also marks OPPO's continued presence at top international AI
conferences, following the participation at events such as MWC, Google Cloud
Next '24, and Microsoft Build. OPPO is actively collaborating with global
partners to advance the development of AI phones.
In
early June, OPPO officially announced its strategy to make AI phones accessible
to everyone, targeting the equipping of approximately 50 million OPPO
smartphones with generative AI features by year's end, spanning all OPPO’s
smartphone product lines. This move underscores OPPO's long-term commitment and
strategic determination to enhance AI integration in smartphones.
Looking
forward, the innovative research outcomes from OPPO, combined with advanced
technologies from partners like Google, Microsoft and MediaTek, will further
propel OPPO’s mission to spearhead a global movement in the democratization of
AI phone.
