Morpho, Inc. Unveils HDR Technology and Rolling Shutter Distortion Correction Technology

TOKYO, February 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Morpho, Inc., the global leader in software image processing solutions for mobile devices, announced on Feb. 14 the development of High Dynamic Range imaging technology (HDR technology) and rolling shutter distortion correction technology. These technologies operate on mobile handsets including Android (TM) devices.

About "Morpho HDR technology"

HDR technology compensates for clipped highlights in bright areas and clipped shadows in dark areas of high contrast images. Morpho, Inc.'s HDR technology creates an ideal image by using multiple images with different exposure times. The main feature of this technology is that Morpho's original motion compensation technology "SOFTGYRO (R)" eliminates the need for accessories such as tripods. In addition, ghosts of subjects are not captured due to subject blur compensation.

About "Morpho rolling shutter distortion correction technology"

Imaging devices with CMOS sensors that capture video are often hampered by the appearance of geometric distortions (rolling shutter distortion in the vertical direction or shear direction). Morpho's original video image stabilization technology "MovieSolid (R)" has been expanded to correct rolling shutter distortions in addition to video image stabilization in the horizontal and vertical directions.
