Mobile Apps Camera

Mobile Apps Camera refers to any app that uses your smartphone’s camera to take photos, record videos, scan documents, recognize objects, or perform other imaging tasks.

There are two main categories:

1. Native Camera Apps:
   These come pre-installed on your device (e.g., Apple's Camera app on iPhone, Google Camera on Pixel phones, Samsung Camera app). They provide basic features like photo/video capture, filters, HDR, panorama, slow motion, portrait mode, etc.
2. Third-Party Camera Apps:
   Apps developed by other companies or individuals offering specialized or enhanced camera features. Examples include:
• ProCam, Halide (manual control over focus, ISO, shutter speed)
• Snapchat, Instagram (built-in camera with filters and AR effects)
• CamScanner, Adobe Scan (document scanning)
• Google Lens (real-time object recognition)
• VSCO, Afterlight (focused more on photo editing after capture)

Key Functions of Camera Apps:

• Photo Capture: Single shot, burst mode, timer.
• Video Capture: Normal, slow motion, time-lapse.
• Manual Controls: Adjusting ISO, white balance, focus, exposure manually.
• Image Processing: Filters, HDR, AI beautification, AR overlays.
• Scanning: Detecting and digitizing documents or QR codes.
• Recognition/AR: Face recognition, object tracking, augmented reality features.
• Security/Surveillance: Apps that turn your phone into a security camera (e.g., AlfredCamera).

Technology Behind Mobile Camera Apps:

• Camera APIs: Developers use Android's CameraX/Camera2 API or iOS's AVFoundation to interact with hardware.
• Machine Learning: For face detection, scene optimization, and AI-enhanced photography.
• Augmented Reality SDKs: Like ARKit (iOS) and ARCore (Android) for virtual overlays.

• • Cloud Services: For backup, sharing, and heavy image processing.
