By the release of Lumia 1020, Nokia organized a Future / Capture contest (it was written about it in Habré ). The competition could submit three ideas of applications that fully use the 41-megapixel camera. I took advantage of this opportunity, but did not qualify.

My ideas are pretty tied to the large resolution of photos, and I do not see how to implement them in this form. It's a shame to leave them gathering dust, therefore, I pass three ideas of applications into the public domain ( CC0 ), and I will be glad if they come in handy to someone or come across some other ideas.

1. Where is the Waldo?

Interactive application with gameplay similar to the books and games " Where is Valdo ".
')

How does it work?

1. You take a photo with a lot of small details, such as a concert, beach or forest.
2. You make a quest from your photo - mark small areas of interest (for example, you, kittens, small objects).
3. Share the quest with your friends.
4. The task of your friends is to find the points that you have marked. This may be a competition between friends, time searches or ratings.

Concert hurts

2. The story of one photo

Applications for creating a short video story from one photo.

How does it work?

1. You take a big photo.
2. You choose interesting fragments of the image, these will be key frames of your new video.
3. You add filters to each keyframe, add descriptions, transform them (scale, rotation).
4. You apply transitions between keyframes (increase, turns), set the length of transitions and the duration of keyframes.
5. Share videos with friends (via YouTube, Vine or similar services).

Vacation

Who did you relax with, what did you visit, and what did you do in one video

Bow

All parts, accessories and general view in one video.

3. Collage

Add missing details to a photo using a collage.

How does it work?

1. You take a photo.
2. You separately photograph the missing details.
3. The application combines a detailed photo with the original image so that you get a complete picture.

Threesome

If you take a photo of three, there is always someone who is missing in the frame. Just take a picture of a third person separately and get everyone together.

Interesting object

You made a beautiful photo, but after you noticed an interesting object (car, cloud). Just take a separate photo with the new part and connect it with the original photo.

Technical details

The most technically challenging task, if at all implemented with acceptable quality. Must use algorithms that are used when pasting panoramas. Some of the algorithms are described in detail, several algorithms are used in open source software. All are based on common steps:

• Find common points in both images
• Find the transformation matrix for the second image
• Convert the second image to match the first one.
• Combine images
