Capture Panoramic Images with QuickPanorama for Nokia N900

February 18th, 2010 • • 25 comments

Morpho QuickPanorama showed up in the Ovi Store for the Nokia N900 this week. It lets you take panoramic photographs by only moving the camera to capture a wide landscape. Users don’t need to snap multiple pictures and join them later on. The ease of use will definitely attract more people towards panoramic photography.

Quick Panorama

The movement detection engine based on the Morpho’s unique algorithm only requires users to move their cameras to an area to be paranomically photographed. All the complicated works such as positioning and image pasting are processed within the Nokia N900. All the processing is performed in real time, so the users can preview the panoramic image of a photo while being taken.

My first attempt is included below. Click on the image for the original size.

The missing section on the right side of the image is the result of moving the camera up or down from the horizontal line.

The version of QuickPanorama currently available in the Ovi Store shows a message that it is a trial version with a limited capture size of VGA (640 x 480). I’m assuming that a paid version can capture larger sizes when it becomes available. Try it out and share links of your panoramic photos from the Nokia N900 in the comments below!

    I was very hesitant to install this app, but the photographer in me saw an interesting use for this tool.

    I have to say I am thoroughly impressed by the simplicity of this application and it really works. The image quality looks nice on the N900's 3.5″ screen, but I have yet to see what the stitched image really looks like until I view my test shot on my desktop computer's 24″ monitor.

    VERY NICE so far! However, the real asset with this software tool is yourself. The skill to have which is an absolute MUST is in maintaining a steady and straight horizontal plane of motion while acquiring your panoramic image.

    More than likely I'd pay for the full version. So… that's my report! LOL! :-)

    Beats using my 'real' camera and then mucking about with Hugin for half an hour :-)
    If it was cheap (a few pounds) I'd certainly consider it – very easy to use, and works very very well.

    thanks johny! is that a mario coin bank?

    not a bank, a DS holder/stand, it's pretty awesome, though I never take my DS out of it's case (thus mario never gets to hold it), I do let mario hold other random household objects from time to time. the following isn't my video, but is the mario of which we speak:

    Morpho QuickPanorama (Free Trial) application helps you take panorama photos easily with one-button capture. Just start acquiring video, swipe your hand in a horizontal direction to capture a panorama, and the Morpho QuickPanorama application stitches the input in real-time to create a panorama JPEG automatically

    Pretty neat app. I’m not sure about the promise of a full res. version in the future. It seems to me that capturing viewfinder mode frames and taking full res. images would have an impact on the capture performance. ;)

    Here’s hoping, though!

    The free Nokia app (also on the Ovi store) is much more user friendly then Morpho’s though.
