Samsung patents camera system that predicts memory needs using AI
Samsung has filed a patent for an electronic device that uses a machine learning model to predict how much memory a camera needs when taking a photo. Instead of using a fixed amount of storage, the system allocates specific memory space based on the expected type of photograph being taken.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device includes a processor configured to perform an image processing operation on a captured image generated in response to a photographing input, and a memory configured to provide a space required for the image processing operation of the processor. The processor, when the photographing input is received, allocates a memory space required for the image processing operation based on expected photographing pattern data generated by a machine learning model.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: a processor configured to perform an image processing operation on a captured image generated in response to a photographing input; and a memory configured to provide a space required for the image processing operation of the processor, wherein the processor, when the photographing input is received, allocates a memory space required for the image processing operation based on expected photographing pattern data generated by a machine learning model.
