Apple continues to expand its scope in the technology industry. The Cupertino company managed to buy the Danish company Spektral, based in Copenhagen, which works on machine learning technologies for image and video editing. One of the main technologies used concerns the processing of the green background (green screen) in real time and manages to separate people from the background and transfer them to the scene with an alternative backdrop.

Apple is keeping quiet about its plans with the company. However, some analysts have already said that the acquisition could be used primarily to improve the cameras of future iPhones. For example, Portrait mode relies heavily on machine learning, which is able to capture truly stunning images. ProThe process of creating a Portrait mode image involves creating a mask over the subject's face and then separating the face from the background. Another possible use can be found in creating filters similar to the Snap app.chat.
Thanks to machine learning, the photos from the future iPhone could be more perfect again. However, the current iPhone XS photos are a feast for the eyes:

Spektral was founded in 2014 by Henrik Paltoft and Toke Jansen. The latter has been in the graphics industry for over 20 years and is an expert in image optimization and machine learning. He also received the honorary student award from the Technical University of Denmark. This entire acquisition was made in 2017 and has only now surfaced. The purchase of Spektrum came out Apple reportedly for $31 million.
we'll see, he also bought Kodak patents in the past and sometimes I feel that it's just so that someone else doesn't come up with something new, the aperture is 1.8 for the 3rd year in a row, the XS has good photos, but again it has a lot of evenings and in foggy or cloudy weather and on it is necessary to improve the aperture
He also didn't make it anywhere in digital kodak and only made a few clumps, so I don't know what you want to use there. Aperture and aperture are different concepts, but neither needs a patent.
