I get the feeling that lens free cameras are the future. Obviously the results here are no where near good enough, but given the rapid improvement of diffusion models lately the trajectory seems clear.

Would love to lose the camera bump on the back of my phone.

Not sure what this has to do with anything. The paper I was commenting on is using diffusion models to parse raw light hitting the sensor as an alternative to a glass lens. No one wants an image generation model hooked up to weather data— that’s kind of ridiculous.

So you just get something based off GPS, time of day and rotation?

Or no photos anymore?

Not sure I understand the question. This paper is about using diffusion models to reconstruct usable images from raw sensor data. The diffusion model in essence replaces the lens.

there would be a bunch of holes and a ccd at the back, just no growths of bulbous lens.
