What is the true identity of the 'photograph with the face and leaves replaced' taken with the iPhone?



When I took a picture of a person with the camera of iPhone 13 Pro, 'a picture in which the face was replaced with leaves' was taken, and it has become a hot topic.




The hottest photo was taken by Mitch Cohen , the developer of software for iOS. When Mr. Cohen took a group photo outdoors, a strange photo was taken in which a woman's face was replaced with leaves. If you actually check the following photo posted by Mr. Cohen, it looks like the person in the photo has been replaced with a leaf above the neck.



Cohen also posted an image of Exif data showing that the

photo was taken with the iPhone 13 Pro at the same time as the above photo. 'We haven't made any weird settings,' he added, emphasizing that the photo in question was taken with the standard iPhone camera app.



This post by Cohen was a hot topic as an indication of iPhone image processing issues. And the day after posting, Sebastian de Wiz , the developer of the professional camera app Halide , will provide Cohen with an 'original photo' and a 'photo taken before and after' the photo in question. It has evolved into a situation that demands.




However, as a result of Mr. Wiz's analysis, the photo in question is not 'a photo in which the face of a person is replaced with leaves by image processing of the iPhone', but 'the leaves of the tree located between the person and the iPhone are reflected, and due to the compression effect . It became clear that it was a photo that gave the impression that it had replaced the face. When Mr. Cohen actually confirmed the shooting location, it turned out that a tree branch with leaves was growing at the position as Mr. Wiz pointed out. If you look at the movie posted by Mr. Cohen with the following tweet, you can see that the branches are growing in a position that is difficult to see due to the fallen leaves in the background.




Cohen in response to this outbreak 'We applaud that the iPhone was able to recognize the leaves that could not be seen in my eyes properly,' said we.
