Google's Night Sight Feature Arrives For Pixel Phones (venturebeat.com) 26

Google on Wednesday started to roll out 'Night Sight', a much anticipated-feature to the Pixel smartphones that is designed to help users capture better photos in low-light conditions. From a report: Night Sight made a premature debut in October courtesy of a leaked app, but today marks the start of its official rollout.

      The key trick they’re using is exposure stacking, i.e., aligning and adding together a sequence of images. While you could use this to achieve night vision, the price would be lag of a substantial fraction of a second, to collect the required number of images. Not what you want while driving. Worse, I bet the system will fail with fast-changing scenes because it won’t be able to align consecutive images.
