3D Photos - Facebook 360 Photos - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys
There is an option to upload photos on Facebook and to make them 3D, very cool and beautiful you can check them here https://facebook360.fb.com/360-photos/
But sadly, it's only for people with iPhones. The requirements are to have iPhone with 2 cameras. Basically, the picture needs to be shot with 2 cameras to have a depth effect to make it 3D. But why only for iPhones? Basically, every phone with two cameras should be able to do it. Is there any way to use this option on android?

Sorry not using FB

It is possible to create the 3D photo without an iPhone
Well it is possible to create the 3D photo without an iPhone. let’s start by looking at the special features of Portrait Mode. It doesn’t just take one photo. It takes your “normal” photo, but also takes another “special” photo. This ‘special’ photo is the depth map, which is created when we take photo from a phone with two cameras. This depth map shows which part of the photo is ‘closer’ to the camera, and which part is ‘further’ from the camera .This works just as our eyes work. When we know which object is near and which object is far, we can construct a 3D understanding of what we see on our brain. Facebook uses this depth data to construct a 3D Photo, relying on it to gain a 3D view of our photo and make a 3D parallax effect with it.
‘Live Focus’ mode on Galaxy Note 9 relies on the same principle as the iPhone X’s Portrait Mode. But its stores depth data differently. The qualty of 3d image is less as compared to iPhone. take a look here : www.facebook.com/nuuneoi/posts/10216478233324532
The main issue is that the depth map data taken from most Android phones with 2 camera has no standard. Every brand uses different formats for their depth data, so it may take a while for Facebook to roll out this feature to the another phone model beside Apple’s iPhones :angel::angel:

Bad JPG compression in Photos and Videos

The photos I have added to my phone from my PC look bad in the Touch Flo application's Photos and Videos page. They have massive JPG compression artifacting. The photos that were in the phone, and any photos I have taken with the built in camera look great. When I click on the photos to look at them full screen, they all look great, but it's just in the screen where you can "flip" through the photos that they look bad. I moved a photo from the memory card to the phone to see if that was the issue, but it still looked bad.
It's probably not that big of a deal, as the more photos I get loaded to the phone, the less likely I am to even use this "flip" function, as it would take all day to flip through a hundred photos.
On another note, what photo apps do people like that lets you organize lots of photos well?
Am I the only one with this issue? Or am I the only one that uses the built in app?
I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like the issue stems from a lack of resizing images for your screen resolution in the software. Remember, windows mobile is an inefficient hunk of junk. Just like Vista and, to a lesser extent, XP.
As such, developers rarely consider anything graphically or processor intensive when writing code (or they are simply lazy). Either way, sounds to me like the software simply can't re-size the images to fit your screen properly.
I bought a low-end digital picture frame for my grandmother a few years back. Almost all the pictures we uploaded to the thing looked horrible! Except for those images which mached it's native resolution. Go figure.
Why do pictures taken from your camera work? Dunno. I too would like to find a good photo organizer for my phone.
Just be glad your phone even takes pictures! My AT&T fuze camera flaked out, i can take pictures and view the thumbnails, but when viewing fullsize, I get a bunch of green blocks!!! (REALLY considering flashing that leaked rom and seeing how that goes)

Sample photos?

I'm 75% certain I'm going to get this phone next month, does anyone have any sample photos from it? (JPS 3D)
All I've ever been able to find is 3D video and I've never been able to find sample 3D photos
can anyone help?
I've looked through this forum and cannot find any unless I've missed something

Would you also be able to upload some 2D pictures at 5mp.
really thank u man - and please some 2D pictures
Hmmm, the stereo seperation seems as bad as I had heard it was - much less than the 3DS. I wonder if forcing the seperation in software can help enough to give decent depth to the photos as viewing them on my 3DS its really subtle and seems to strain my eyes more than usual. Lets hope partly its due to viewing them so low resolution compared to their native.
Why did they put the cameras so close together?

Rename the files to .jpg instead of .jps and view them in any image viewer you have installed.
It is simply 2 jpeg images side by side, taking a separate 2D image should be exactly the same as the left image in the jps stereo pair.

Just looked at the sample images on a 50 inch plasma with 3d glasses. Separation is good.
Some of the images have issues since they were taken with a tilted angle which affects the depth effect, maybe this is the reason for some complaining about the separation.
Stereo photo maker has an auto aligment feature that corrects height difference between the left/image: http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/
The problem is shown on the tree animation at:
http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/help/multiple.htm
Cameras are close since the battery takes up half the phone size, it is a PCB design thing, maybe not enough space to have the battery in the middle. HTC Evo 3D has the same layout.

Picutre mode and video mode

Hi
Someone know if it will have macro mode for picture and stuffs like this? Will it be better than note 5 for photos and video. Someome know?
Thanks
The Samsung galaxy camera is impressive in its own right. It shoots excellent pictures out of the box, with very little fuss. But it can do more. Much more.
Samsung actually pared back some of the features in the camera app this time around. That makes the initial experience easier no more overwhelming feature lists but it does mean you're lacking things that were built in before. Say, the ability to record an animated GIF, for one. The good news is these features are pretty easy to get back. Here's how.
First things first: You're going to need to have a Samsung Account to get to the new (well, relocated, anyway) camera modes. That is, you'll be downloading them from Samsung's app store. The good news is it's relatively painless to sign up for one (you can now use your Google account to do so.
Surround shot:
This is Samsung's version of Google's Photo Sphere.
Sports shot: Aids in taking pictures of fast-moving subjects.
"
Sound & shot:
This is a cool one that adds in a few seconds of background sound at the time you took the picture.
Beauty face:
Digitally adds makeup.
Animated gif: Takes a series of pictures 20, actually and stitches them together for animation purposes.
Rear-cam selfie: Helps the rear camera identify faces and auto focus for ... a picture of yourself with the rear camera.
Dual camera: Simultaneously uses the front and rear cameras for that front-back effect. Or, as we like to call it, Mullet Mode.
Auto mode (default).
Pro mode.
Selective focus mode.
Panorama mode.
Slow motion mode (for video recording).
Fast motion mode (for video recording).
Virtual shot mode.
For the front camera, there are 4 pre-installed Samsung Galaxy S6 camera modes:
Selfie mode (default).
Wide selfie mode.
Virtual shot mode.
Interval shot mode.
cool
Impressive
Very informative and detailed review. Thanks a ton
thanks a lot for the information.

Stacking Photos to increase resolution and reduce noise.

I have had the practice of stacking photos in photoshop to increase the spacial resolution and increase tremendous detail in photos taken from my DSLR. I Want the same to be implemented on android but how?
I know there is an app called Camera super resolution on the play store that worked on limited phones. It worked on my oneplus 2 but the way it was implemented just didnt look great as it just enalarged the pic and the stacking used to work seldomly and even when it took 1 single pic it used to enlarge it 4 times.
I took some photos using my oneplus 6 consecutively handheld and stacked them in photoshop and the results are beautiful. Less noise and more detail. The oneplus 6 has the Snapdragon 845 so the stacking should almost be in real time as anyways the camera app stacks photo exposure for hdr.
So my question is can anyone implement this photoshop stacking feature on android. Please............
