TECNO Enhances Mobile Imaging with Diverse Skin Tone Palette in Global Release
TECNO has enhanced its Universal Tone technology by introducing an advanced multi-skin tone color chart that currently includes 372 color swatches and will keep growing to encompass additional skin tones.
TECNO, a pioneering tech brand powered by artificial intelligence, is pushing the boundaries of multi-skin tone imaging through substantial enhancements to its Universal Tone technology.
This update features an enhanced multi-skin tone color palette with 372 swatches, along with improvements to the Multi-Skin Tone Color Restoration Engine, greatly boosting the precision of skin tones. These advancements guarantee more authentic and representative skin tones for various ethnic backgrounds and situations in smartphone photography.
This new development will make its first appearance with the forthcoming TECNO CAMON 40 Series, set to launch at MWC Barcelona 2025 in March. Visitors attending the yearly exhibition can come by TECNO’s booth, found at Hall 6 Stand 6B11, Fira Gran Via, to personally try out the advantages of this enhanced imaging tech.
Broadening the Skin Tone Dataset for Authentic Representation
TECNO has notably expanded its Universal Tone multispectral color palette to feature 372 distinct color swatches. This enhancement aims to build upon an increasingly extensive and varied collection of hues that encapsulate a broad array of global skin tones from areas like Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. The updated color chart not only adds more samples but also improves both the scientific rigor and real-world utility of skin-tone measurements and assessments, acting as a vital reference point for calibrating Universal Tone algorithms. By offering a strong and diversified set of data points for these skin tone reconstruction algorithms, the improved Universal Tone can capture and represent a broader range of complexions with greater precision.
To highlight its advancements, TECNO plans to display two specialized editions of this refined color card at MWC 2025: one emphasizing deeper skin tones and another concentrating primarily on paler shades, ensuring thorough representation throughout the wide gamut of human pigmentation.
Expanding upon its achievements, TECNO has introduced an innovative region-specific color chart designed exclusively for Saudi Arabia in late 2024. Developed in partnership with the University of Leeds (UK) and Dar Al-Hekma University (Saudi Arabia), this new palette includes 186 distinct shades representing various Saudi Arabian skin tones. This significant development highlights TECNO's dedication to comprehensive and representative skin tone portrayal, guaranteeing meticulous and genuine depiction of the broad spectrum of skin colors within the Saudi marketplace.
By initiating this localized color standard, TECNO plans to continually refine the capabilities of Universal Tone through extensive studies focusing on skin tones, environmental settings, and illumination factors specific to the area. These efforts aim at optimizing algorithms for greater regional accuracy and providing enhanced functionality suited specifically to meet the demands of consumers locally.
Improving the Multi-Skin Tone Color Restoration Engine for Unparalleled Precision and Accuracy
One of the key components of Universal Tone is the improved Multi-Skin Tone Color Restoration Engine, which now features an advanced CCM Skin Tone Calibration Algorithm and a Spectrum-Based Automated White Balance (AWB) Algorithm. This updated CCM algorithm uses TECNO’s enhanced Multi-skin Tone Color Card for training, guaranteeing accurate color calibration. Meanwhile, the new AWB algorithm utilizes spectral predictions derived from skin tones to effectively tackle color shifting issues in single-color photographic scenes. It also enhances exposure and white balance adjustments for different skin tones within the same image. These enhancements together result in more than a 50% increase in precision when restoring skin tones, leading to naturally rendered portraits under varied skin complexions and lighting setups.
In addition to these advancements, Universal Tone incorporates an Intelligent Skin-Tone Grading Exposure Algorithm. This feature allows for accurate adjustments of exposure across various skin tones, guaranteeing enhanced tonal balance and uniform brightness correction. These improvements collectively enhance Universal Tone’s ability to restore multiple skin tones effectively and provide outstanding performance under demanding situations like those with solid color backgrounds or strong backlights.
Driven by a strong dedication to minimizing skin tone bias and promoting inclusive imaging solutions, TECNO places these goals at the core of their imaging advancement plan. They consistently enhance their Universal Tone tech and algorithms using a comprehensive skin tone dataset to guarantee precise and equitable portrayal. Through this refined Universal Tone feature, TECNO remains ahead in the mobile imaging sector with one of the most sophisticated skin tone aesthetics databases available today. Their ongoing quest for superior technology and broad-minded innovation persists, establishing fresh benchmarks within the market.
