AiCamera

AiCamera is an Android camera application that produces a shallow depth-of-field effect in software. Rather than relying on a wide-aperture lens or a second camera for parallax, it passes the frame through a neural network to separate subject from background, then blurs the background according to that separation. The result is the kind of image normally associated with a physically larger optical system.

The licence is MIT, which permits reuse and redistribution with minimal conditions, including in closed-source work. Packaging targets Android only, so the app is tied to a phone or tablet camera and to whatever processing capacity that device offers; inference speed and the quality of the subject boundary will therefore vary with hardware. The available facts do not state whether the network runs locally or which model is used, nor whether the effect can be applied to existing photographs as opposed to being applied at capture time.
