Intelligent recognition functions coming thanks to the iPhone 8's infrared system?

Published in error end of
last week by Apple, the firmware of the HomePod active speaker continues
to reveal new information about iPhone features
8.

Today's new find is attributed to the developer
Guilherme Rambowho discovered acamera function
intelligent, having the capacity torecognize different
topicslocated in front of the photo sensor, among others.

The HomePod OS suggests that the camera app would be capable of
recognize different topics(children, animals),
types of scenes(sunset, fireworks, etc.) and
light conditionsto then automatically adjust
settings to take the best possible photo.

Many compact or SLR cameras offer this type of
presets and it seems that Apple is planning to integrate something
similar.

Guilherme Rambo also found a reference to a feature of
"freezeMotion", who could recognize a person in
rapid movement andcapture the photo at the best moment.

Finally, several references to data from "Confidence"
suggest that the camera could recognizepets,
babies, but also documents and QR codes. We already know that
document scanning andrecognition of
codes QRwork in iOS 11 beta.

It is likely that some of these features are available on
several iPhone models, while others should be reserved for
the iPhone 8 and its new infrared system.
