In addition to a huge notch on the XL variant, the Pixel 3 brought many interesting features. Night Sight and Super Res Zoom are nothing less than magic (until you compare them to the Huawei P30), Top Shot is a godsend for those who are always a little late or at the beginning of the trigger , and Photobooth is an interesting addition. for group shots and candid. Starting with version 6.2 of Google Camera, Photobooth can also detect kisses.

Until now, Photobooth used Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Learning to detect when people in the frame (one or more) had their eyes open, and one of the following five expressions: tongues spread, cheeks smiled, puffs, face kissed look surprised. When one of these occurred, he automatically took a picture.

Now, the team behind the Camera app added kisses detection, which was a whole new challenge. People who kiss do not necessarily look at the camera or with their eyes open. A different model had to be used to drive the algorithm. The team explains how each image is scored, plus the weight assignment is assigned to an action taking place in the foreground relative to the background, and a stamp is used to see if any of the following images has a higher score than the previous one. This helps to save only the images with the highest score.

To try it out, all you have to do is make sure you are using Google Camera 6.2 (APK Mirror), turn on the Photobooth mode and start kissing people in front of the camera – preferably, not strangers. If you have an old pixel, you can still download the GCam file modified by cstark27 to get Photobooth. The P3v11 version (APK Mirror) is based on Google Camera v6.2 and should have the same capabilities. I have tried it on my XL 2 pixel, but unfortunately I am alone now, and the algorithm has not been fooled with a fake kiss between two stuffed animals – ah!
