Vivo released mobile imaging, which Seven R&D centers are positioned globally

Posted on

Vivo officially confirmed that it has become a global imaging strategic partner with Zeiss. At the same time, the “Vivo Zeiss Joint Imaging Laboratory” was listed at the Vivo global headquarters in Dongguan. The upcoming flagship machine, the Vivo X60 series, is the first achievement of the cooperation between Vivo and Zeiss.

The strategic cooperation with Zeiss means that the development of Vivo mobile phone imaging has ushered in another new turning point. After the cooperation conference, Li Zhuo communicated with the media including Sohu Technology.

Topics included the process of cooperation between Vivo and Zeiss and the layout of Vivo’s imaging system. It is understood that Vivo has positioned imaging as one of the company’s core long tracks, and has deployed imaging R&D centers in many places around the world. Currently, there is more than 700 R&D personnel.

Li Zhuo, director of imaging products at Vivo, said that Vivo’s investment in imaging research and development exceeded 20 billion yuan two years ago, and it was later changed to “not capped” based on consumer demand.

 

It is understood that Vivo has successively deployed imaging R&D centers around the world since 2017. There are now seven R&D centers with more than 700 R&D personnel. For example, the R&D center in Tokyo, Japan mainly conducts research on optics and semiconductors; the R&D center in San Diego is mainly engaged in image processing engines and is also responsible for cooperating with Google, ‘after all, it runs on Google’s imaging system’.

Dongguan has a specialized hardware R&D team; there is an algorithm research center in Hangzhou, whose achievements are mainly portrait algorithms and night scene algorithms.

In the process of cooperation between the two parties, Li Zhuo believes that the bigger challenge is that Zeiss’s own optical standards are not equal to the phone supply chain. Zeiss’s standards are very strict, so Vivo has overcome many technical difficulties in the joint research and development process.
