IMINT, a Sweden-based company is known for offering video enhancement solutions for smartphone cameras. The company’s flagship product “Vidhance” is used by a plethora of OEMs like HUAWEI, OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi, Motorola, and Infinix. Now, this company is partnering with Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek to deeply integrate both their products.

Up until now, IMINT’s Vidhance is only integrated at the software level in smartphones powered by MediaTek chipsets. But with the new partnership, it can be integrated at a deeper (hardware) level to improve the overall performance of video stabilization by consuming less energy.

The following IMINT products will be integrated at a deeper level in MediaTek chips.

• Vidhance Dynamic Motion Blur Reduction
• Vidhance Super Stabilization
• Vidhance Field of View Correction
• Vidhance Horizon Correction

The Swedish company says that its technologies are deployed in over 250 million smartphones. Apart from handsets, the firm’s products can be also found in bodycams, modular cameras, and drones.

As GSMArena points out, OEMs are lately turning towards MediaTek for cheaper alternatives to costlier 5G-equipped Qualcomm chipsets. If this trend continues, budget smartphone users will have access to the products offered by IMINT, which will help in providing better video recording performance.

Samsung just signed an agreement with Imint, an organisation that develops real-time video enhancements that is used in defense, aeronautics and industries. In 2012, the company decided to get into the mobile industry after a new CEO was appointed.

The agreement borders on a software called Vidhance which is present in the Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design and whose codes are present in Huawei’s own EMUI 5.0 in case the company plans on enabling it in any other device.

What is surprising is that Samsung’s agreement doesn’t include its use in smartphones which begs the question “what products will have the feature?”. Possible answers include a new Samsung Gear 360 camera, or maybe a new product like an action camera or a drone. So sadly, this enhancement won’t be coming to the Galaxy S8.

Vidhance actually has three benefits when used in a product. There is advanced video stabilization which is optimized for real-life scenarios such as walking and also has a high precision in low light conditions. You also get Live Auto Zoom, a feature that lets you select a subject which the software tracks and zooms on appropriately. The last is Auto Curate which use algorithms to break down your video into several clips and suggests which you should keep and cut out, and in seconds, your video is completed.

Below are samples of videos recorded with the Vidhance software.
