color, shape and other facial features that should be processed one after
another. Plus, In the MeiOS 4.3.4, at the end of July, the Meitu T9 will add
the full-body beautification video mode.

engine, AI automatic white balance (AWB), DoF calculation on the background
blur based on high-definition depth maps, professional-level blur, and various
