New: PhotoAcute for Nokia 3650

Published by at

PhotoAcute is a software based way of turning the camera of a Nokia 3650 from 300 kpx to 1.2 mpx. It works by taking multiple images and then using software processing (which can take up to few minutes) to produce one high resolution photo. The authors are working on support for other phones. We'll have a quick review of the software shortly to see if its claims live up to reality.


Author Notes:
PhotoAcute significantly improves the quality of pictures snapped by the phone built-in camera.
By applying state-of-art image processing techniques, it allows to achieve up to 4-times increase in resolution, practically turning the 300 kilopixel camera into 1.2 Megapixel one.

PhotoAcute features:

* 1280x960 picture size instead of 640x480 (it's not a zoom!)
* Pictures with fine details that are usually invisible/indistinguishable
* Automatic picture noise reduction
