Lately Google is being very prolific in launching new apps. Recently we had wallpapers, an app that allows you to collect all the wallpapers that have been released on the Nexus and Pixel in the latest versions of Android. Another great app that looks out from the big G to show that it knows how to make high-quality software like the best photo gallery that is Google Photos.
Now we have another new app called PhotoScan and it will take care of scanning thanks to use of machine learning which will be in charge of combining a series of photographs to obtain the best possible result. A perfect app to scan those old photos that we have in the photo albums of those other decades in which analog cameras were everything to have memories of friends, family and more.
Google has machine learning as one of the central axes for a series of updates and apps such as that google play music which was updated yesterday and what is that new technology for enhance low resolution photos in high quality. It is in PhotoScan where use machine learning so you can convert your printed photos to digital with the potential of computational photography.
PhotoScan uses your device's camera to scan printed photos, but not in a simple way like those apps like CamScanner can be. PhotoScan will use the flash to shoot a first capture, so that you will then find four points to which you have to direct the camera to take four more photographs. This done, PhotoScan will take care of process the images to create the final which will have a great result most of the time. Before finishing, you can adjust the four corners to crop the image better.
An app that indicates the new path to machine learning, and in this case computational photography in which algorithms play a very important role. A highly recommended application, so you can now install it from the Google Play Store.
