  • Auto White Balancing: This PoC app uses a deep learning network to automatically detect a scene’s white point from an S1-M image and apply it to the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro’s rear RGB camera feed. The interface displays the MSI-based AWB result alongside the tablet’s default RGB pipeline, together with the white-point values estimated from the MSI and RGB data, enabling direct comparison of the resulting color correction.

  • Skin Biomarker Analysis: This PoC app uses biomarker models to extract melanin, blood volume and skin oxygenation from an S1-M image. After identifying the facial region, it processes pixel-level spectral data to generate spatial maps for each biomarker. The interface presents the sRGB image, face mask, blood, melanin and oxygenation maps side by side, enabling direct visualization of their distribution across the face.
