Photon Camera

English | 简体中文 | 日本語

Photon Camera is an open-source Android camera application focused on static photography, designed to simulate the handling and image quality of modern mirrorless digital cameras.

🌟 Key Features

1. Advanced LUT Support

• Multi-format Compatibility: Supports importing and applying .cube, .png (Halfs/Fulls), and .xmp profile files.
• Real-time Preview: High-performance shaders enable real-time LUT filtering with "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG).
• Custom Imports: Easily import your own LUT libraries to create a unique color signature.

2. Deep Color Recipes

A professional-grade color adjustment system allowing fine-tuning across multiple dimensions: * Basic Adjustments: Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Saturation, Temperature, Tint. * Artistic Effects: Color effects, Vignette, Grain, Fade, Bleach Bypass. * Pro Filters: Bloom, Dispersion, Noise, Low-pixel aesthetics.

3. Motion Photos

• Industry Unique: The only open-source project providing multi-vendor adaptation (Xiaomi, Samsung, Pixel, etc.) for Motion Photos on Android.
• Dynamic Moments: Capture short video clips alongside your still images.

4. High-Speed Burst

• Performance Peak: High-speed burst mode with no limit on the number of frames.
• LUT Integration: Supports applying LUT filters in real-time during burst sequences.

5. Multi-frame Synthesis & Super Resolution

• Quality Enhancement: Enhances image quality through advanced multi-frame stacking.
• Noise Reduction: Provides effective noise reduction while focusing on preserving natural details.

6. Large Aperture Bokeh

• AI-Driven: Integrates the midas-v2 depth detection local AI model, optimized for Qualcomm chips.
• Precise Depth: Offers accurate depth sensing for natural background blur transitions (ongoing refinements).

7. Phantom Mode

• Raw Quality: Directly bridges with the system camera for image capture while applying Photon Camera's LUT engine. This bypasses the typical "bad image quality" and "over-sharpening" issues found in standard third-party camera APIs.

8. AI Color Simulation

• Smart Stylization: Utilizes Google Nano Banana 2 technology to analyze reference photos, restore original colors, and extract color profiles to generate custom LUTs.

🛠️ Technology Stack

• UI: Jetpack Compose
• Camera API: Camera2 API
• Min SDK: Android 11+ (minSdk 30)
