GW CS Senior Design 2021

Brooke Claroni, Giana Fiore & Jekko Syquia: Photo Composer

Project Description:

PhotoComposer is an Android smart-camera app that teaches users how to take better photos. While there are many photography applications on the market, they are broadly geared toward making better photos with editing and filters. PhotoComposer enables users to actually capture better images, minimizing postprocessing and delivering a superior product. To accomplish this, the application carries out the following three steps:

  1. The application accepts a photo from the user via upload or live capture and automatically detects the photo’s subject.
  2. The application analyzes the photo’s composition and provides the user with an overall grade, along with a detailed evaluation based on five technical photography criteria: rule of thirds, framing, exposure, clarity, and level.
  3. The application provides the user with actionable suggestions so the user may better capture the subject next time, and also offers reference images of well-received photos of the same subject for the user to find inspiration.
