The App can easily make a 'bokeh' (blured background) effect out of iPhone camera. It was a genus algorithm by the developer to make the iPhone process the captured video into a 'bokeh' style photography.
It also can make magic by completely removing any moving background aka walking people behind your focused object. I'll included the example below.
One more magic that it can do is to sharpen and remove noise of a low light condition photo. What it do is, it will record sum amount time of video (5-10 seconds) and after that, the algorithm will do the rest. You can see the out come from the sample down below.
Here are some info about the developer. An impressive one i should say :
Marc Levoy lives in Palo Alto, California. When he's not writing iPhone apps, he is a professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where he teaches computer graphics, digital photography, and the science of art. His research interests include computer animation, volume rendering, 3D scanning, light field sensing and display, computational photography, and computational microscopy.
Now, let see the sample of what this App can do :
Normal snap !
SynthCam snap = bokeh effect (blurred background)
Normal snap. notice the people walking behind !
SynthCam snap = Blurred background and removed the walking people behind. very slick !
Normal snap = low light condition with a lot of noise.
SynthCam snap = Sharper and noise reduced.
So, to all proud owner of iPhone who like a bit of professional photography, you guys can get this app from the Apple Apps Store at a very low price of 99 cents. Enjoy ;)
