Mod REQ, 5 megapixel panoramics from camera

basically i would like to use the panaramic mode but with the 5 megapixel quality, i dont know whether this can be enabled with a hack/patch, but i think it would be a good addition to the phones abilitys - i know it would take longer to finish the stitching but a worthy wait! anyone interested?

Me too

me too..
for long times..since the i900 omnia ;-)
on sgs using panoplanet lw it would be great!

This sounds reasonable! Samsung totally missed the spot with these ridiculously lo-res panoramas Love this feature, but low res output makes me do panoramas on my pc...

Why don't you take regular pictures and use windows software like Microsoft ICE (free) or AutoPano (not free) to stitch them together?
(I know, not a solution to your problem, but definitely better results)

A solution but kinda take the spontaneity and fun out it. Its nice to have the results in hand.

panoramas are usually lower res because they are, in fact, they are several photos stitched together. this holds true even in some newer point and shoot digital cameras.
the galaxy s is not alone in this. previous samsung phones such as the i900 omnia , s8000 jet, and i8910 omnia hd support the sweep panorama, but only at a lower resolution. just be thankful that the galaxy actually HAS sweep panorama - my friends with their iphones drool over this feature. otherwise, do what frauhottelmann says.
if a dev IS able to make this happen, then WOHOO!

Holy moly it would be awesome if this could happen. Doesn't need to be huge but anything better than the tiny res setting its using now.
Of course that will put a much bigger demand on the memory and processing since it takes all the photos and then does the math. I can see issues popping up...

even if it just took the pictures automatically leaving the stitching to do manually later it would be very handy. id actually prefer that.

i dont mind waiting while it processes the images, and if i was going to go thru the process of stitching in windows id probably take the pics with a real camera, it was just a suggestion and i, as a non techy thought it might be just a few mod's to the camera scripts - surely it would be a few lines which forces this mode into low res.

[Q] Can we record in 300 FPS?

Hi peeps, I saw a vid and the iPhone can record in 300 frames per second. That's awesome!
Can we possibly record in such high frame rates?

Are you sure it's not enhance with the adobe (or another company like that) thingy software? I'll post a link if i can find it.

Actually, I am not sure how the iPhone video was done. Thanks for the link.
From the description:
"had some streets shots taken with the iphone4 and decided to TEST the 300 fps on the footage. This was the result. I feel I am getting there...The image is a little wobbly due to the smooth cam. The footage was shot without any stabilizers... Ungraded and straight out of the iphone."

I have a feeling that it's based on the same way than the adobe software, since you can see that there's alot of tears in peoples legs when they walk.

If you think this through you will come to the conclusion it cannot be done in realtime (yet). The amount of bandwidth and cpu power needed to move 300 images per second from camera through a compressor to a storage medium is not available. Also i don't think the camera itself is that fast.
O, I am so hoping i am wrong.

Photography Wallpapers

This thread is meant to promote the sharing of photographs YOU yourselves took and think that they're fit to be used as wallpapers on android devices.
You're invited to post individual photographs or packs of them.
It would be nice if you also stated where you took the picture and which gear you used to take it.
(Currently, I use a Canon 550D with a Sigma 15-30mm EX DG ASPHERICAL (110') for Wide View Shots and a Tamron AF28-300mm XR Di VC LD ASPHERICAL for Portait shots adding a set of Kenko Extension Rings for Macro shots (tho I'd like to put my hands on a EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro IS USM Canon ASAP.))
I'll open up with some pics I took a few days ago after constructing a small photography studio at home (and a few others from some trips).

Smoothvideo Project (SVP)

From the website:
"SVP allows you to watch any video on your PC file with frame interpolation (like you can watch it on high-end TVs and projectors). It increases frame rate by generating intermediate animation frames between existing ones to produce very smooth, fluid and clear motion. The technology is well-known for a while ("TrimensionDNM", "Motion Plus", "Motionflow" and others), but now it's available for free to PC users with simple GUI and just a couple of mouse clicks.
SVP provides GPU acceleration and it's possible to watch FullHD 1080p-video recalculated to 60Hz in real-time with mid-range CPU and almost any GPU hardware.
SVP actually is not a video player itself, but it enables almost any player to play smooth video."
I've been using this for a few days now and have been blown away by it. The initial kneejerk reaction when using it for the first time is that it's a little odd. We're so used to seeing video played back at the same low frame rates that we've had for decades that it takes a little time for the brain to adapt. For the first couple of hours of using it myself i had no intention of keeping it installed. After the second day of using it you couldn't pay me to go back to watching low frame rate video again! It's a night and day difference.
I could go on being effusive but you really need to try it yourselves to make your own minds up. All i would say is use it for a couple of days. You'll be impressed. The SVP package includes, and is preconfigured for MPC-HC. It does work with other players too though. I would recommend installing the full package using the default settings, ensuring that you've removed any other instances of MPC, Codecs and Filters first. And you do need reasonably decent hardware to run it well too.
Playing back a 1080 video uses 40% on all cores with my 3770K and 25% on my GTX570. I for one am actually glad to have something to run on a daily basis that justifies having spent money on good hardware though. Today i've watched a selection of HD movies and sport and each time it's taken my breath away how life-like everything appears. The clarity and immersion is incredible.
Here are some more links about SVP and HFR video:
Guru3D
Short Wikipedia entry
Interactive Demo
Demo Videos
Here are two short clips from Sons Of Anarchy. The first is normal framerate and the second at 60fps:
Original
HFR
The difference should be immediately obvious watching those two clips. If it's your first time watching HFR playback you might have experienced what people call the 'soap opera effect'. I know i did. That's what takes getting used to, but you soon do. It's LFR video that looks wrong to me now!
The flip side to using Frame Interpolation is artifacting. I found it intolerable with the default SVP settings, but setting 'Artifacts Masking' to 'Strongest' in each Profile has almost completely eliminated it for me. I might notice it once or twice during an entire movie only using that setting. Beside that, you might want to select the option for running SVP at Windows Startup and disabling the SVP On Screen Display too.
It's a profound change. James Cameron and Peter Jackson say it's the future of film. I would agree. Give it a go and see for yourselves.

Sounds pretty awesome. I'll give it a try and see if I like it.

I know its tl; dr but at least read the first paragraph.

I'm watching live sport at normal framerate right now and it looks like a stuttering, jittery mess. Once you go HFR, you can't go back.

Ok I read it now. Soap Opera for me, and trust me, I wont get used to it. I like watching my video at 24 - 30fps, the natural frame rate of the human eye.

Will give this a try, i am used to that effect on the TV already, it wont matter.
Aaand welcome back Dirk! Again!
Quoting wiki here "Thomas Edison said that 46 frames per second was the minimum: 'anything less will strain the eye.'"

Eyes don't see at a frame rate. There aren't any frames... everything is continuous. But when viewing anything above 60fps, eyes can't really tell the difference.

I think I read somewhere, that when compared to video, we see at 30fps. Not saying that we DO see at 30fps, but that's what the video equivalent would be. That's why watching 29.95fps (most) movies they have a natural feel to them, and with something like The Hobbit with 50fps, most critics hated it, and said the 25fps version was much more pleasant to watch.

Yup Hobbit was 48fps..they are critics after all. I thought higher fps in 3D=less strain.
Anyway, I tried reading about this whole frame rate and eye thing yesterday night and gave up. Glad i didn't take up medicine in college...

The human eye doesn't see in still frames, The reason why shooting at 24fps became standard was because first, it was just high enough to give a sequence of images a continuous look, while second being not so high that it became too expensive in celluloid costs.
As for The Hobbit. Remember the kneejerk reaction i mentioned? After a century of film being played back at 24fps we have become used to that. Of course it looks a little strange at first when seeing HFR for the first time. For most people, watching The Hobbit was the very first time they had been exposed to it. A lot of people conceded that by the end of the film they had not only grown accustomed to it, but also didn't notice it any more. It took all of a couple of hours for the soap opera effect to disappear for me too, as it does for everyone. As i said in the OP, you have to use it for a day.
Have a look at the Poll results on CNET. Most people liked the HFR version of The Hobbit btw:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7-57559560-221/poll-did-you-like-the-smoother-hfr-hobbit/
As i said before, i've used SVP all weekend on a variety of media and it is amazing. Once i had to watch something at normal speed after being adapted to HFR it really exposed the difference. LFR is a stuttering, blurry mess in comparison.
HFR is the future. James Cameron has already committed to it for his future projects. Most good quality HDTVs are released now with different implementations of Interpolation that people are getting used to using. SVP just brings that ability to the PC/HTPC. The same software also makes it possible to re-encode any movie you have made to 60fps ready for uploading or sharing, but improving the quality of them. Great for fast moving gameplay videos. The package also includes SVPTube, a nifty little app that lets you play back YouTube videos in real time with HFR applied to it. Pretty cool!

Movie Frame rate

been noticing that when I play a movie either using the You Tube, Netflix, or Google play app the movies seem to play in 30 fps instead of the standard 24 fps.
It looks like the way Soap Operas are shown on TV.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Can this be changed?
Thanks
Jeff

Am I the only one who sees this?

Does your tv have frame rate processing (stupidly marketed as interpolation), i.e., an LCD at 120 or 240 Hz, that you haven't turned down?
I saw what you're describing on an unadjusted Samsung SmartTV, but not on mine, it's dialed back.

If it's a Samsung, look for Auto Motion Plus under Picture Options.
You can dial back the effect or turn it off altogether.
Also look around for an Edge Enhancement setting, maybe under Advanced Options or Picture Options - having that on can contribute to the effect as well.
Those are set independently for each input.
Mileage varies for other brands but it's the same deal.
The correct setting?
What works for you.
I like to dial up just a little bit of that, not soap opera look, just less jumpy and smoother looking to me.
Some people dig the soap opera look. Some people dig none of it.

Have you ever seen high frame rate video - typical of how a soap opera looks (stark, sharp edges to everything)?
On the LCD TVs with high refresh rates (240 Hz, etc - and LCDs don't refresh, they're not decaying-output phosphor displays, they update), they have the ability to take a normal movie, process the picture to remove motion blurring and attack telecine artifacts (judder) -
And if you really wind the feature to max, you can get a normal, soft movie looking like a daytime soap opera.
The term was coined among HDTV users when the feature first appeared some years ago.
(Sorry for the run-on sentence but not sorry enough to fix it lol.)

It's great marketing but total hogwash because the algorithm doesn't work that way.
