In a photo of sucha scene thebright areas look washed out and everything in shadowsis picturedas a black spot with no details. The HDR techniqueallows you tocapture details in bright and dark areas and have themmerged in asingle photo. HDR photography is widely adopted byprofessionalphotographers. Wouldn't it be nice to have an HDR inmobile phones?The problem is that HDR requires taking severaldifferently exposedimages in series, which must be preciselyaligned and then fused.In order to be usable for real life scenes,the HDR feature shouldinclude moving object detection and handshake compensation toavoid or minimize the ghosting in the finalimage. That requires alot of computational resources and makes achallenge even forprofessional desktop HDR software. Almalence hasbrought itsexpertise in professional HDR software to mobile phones.Our HDRfusion algorithms compensate hand shaking and detect movingobjectsin the scene, suppressing ghosting artifacts. At the sametime, thealgorithms are quick enough to provide comfortableprocessing timeon mobile devices.

What are the problems taking good quality pictureswithcamera phones and is there a way to solve them and bridge thegapbetween camera phones and compact cameras? You may think thereisvery little difference between a cell phone camera andapoint-and-shoot camera. Nowadays, mobile phone cameras haveenoughmegapixels. The phones have enough storage capacity. Even thelensquality is not as bad as before and can compete withlow-endcompact cameras. At the same time, a big gap still existswhen itcomes to the basis of photography – the light source. If youtakepictures in daylight, you may be satisfied with the qualityofmobile images. However, when you move to a less brightindoorenvironment, you start to notice the difference. Mobileimagesappear to have more noise, they are usually blurry and lackdetailin shadows. Bright areas turn into pure-white spots. Facesseemunnaturally flat, especially when using a flash. Getting intoadarker environment extends the gap. While images taken witharegular camera are not very good but still do show a scene,mobileimages become unacceptably blurry and show almost nothingbutsmeared lights and the camera’s own noise. Almalence, Inc.hasdeveloped a technology that combines a special exposure modeandsoftware post-processing to greatly reduce the blur effectsandimprove dynamic range. === FAQ Q: Isn't it better to usethestandard camera and then improve the photos in Photoshop? A: Itisalways better to take a quality image than to improve a bad one.Itis usually impossible to remove heavy blur or reduce highnoisewithout losing image details. Night Camera does notapplydeblurring or noise reduction filters to a standard image, itgetsa better image from the sensor.

Join HD Panorama fans and shareyour photos onfacebook: http://www.facebook.com/hdpano Whenshooting nature,camera optics rarely allow to capture completelandscape in it'sbeauty, not just chopping off small piece. Indoor,it is rarelypossible to move far enough to cover the spacecompletely. A numberof frames has to be taken or special optics(fisheye) should beused. In these cases panorama is the solution.Usually, panorama onmobile devices is shoot using either of twomethods: - sweeppanorama - shooting is running continuously, andcamera is rotatedslowly and smoothly to capture entire scene. -pan-and-shootpanorama - multiple separate frames are shot: shoot -rotate -shoot - rotate, etc. Both cases have their own drawbacks.In caseof sweep panorama the shooting is actually happening invideo modeand the height of panorama is limited by maximumresolution forshooting video (for the majority of mobile devices itis 1280pixels). Also, it is impossible to get sharp result underlow-lightillumination, since camera is always in movement, andexposure foreach frame is rather long. On the other hand, ondevices withoutgyroscope, sweep panorama usually will give betterstitchingresults. Pan-and-shoot method allow to shoot panorama ofmaximumresolution, limited only by amount of available free memoryondevice. If device is equipped with gyro - it is possible torotatecamera quickly from one shot to another. In this case it isalsopossible to select the most appropriate focusing mode:autofocus,focus to infinity, or continuous focusing. HD Panoramaimplementsboth shooting methods. One of the problems while shootingpanorama- the necessity to strictly keep camera orientation toavoiddistortion of horizon line, and to avoid 'curvature' onframesequence. Otherwise only a narrow area will come out as aresult ofstitching. In HD Panorama there are 'augmented reality'guides.These are showing clearly how to orient camera to get idealresult.When using augmented reality - it is simply impossible toshoot theframe which will drop out of panorama line of sight. HDPanorama isstitching frames taking into account possible deviationsinillumination between frames and presence of moving objectsinpanorama field. HD Panorama is reproducing dynamic range ofthescene to the maximum extent and minimizing the movingobjectsstitching errors (ghosting removal). If you are aprofessionalphotographer, HD Panorama will allow to save the inputframescaptured, and stitch and possibly adjust them on yourpersonalcomputer. For user convenience HD Panorama uses elements ofGoogleCamera app UI under Apache license. Processing is donewithproprietary Almalence algorithms, resulting in a drasticqualitydifference (highest resolution, dynamic range, etc).
