How to increase image quality in android camera2 api

[nagamothu]

Hi guys, in my app i have added custom camera using camera2, but the captured image is of 300kb and 240 X 320 resolution. and looks blurry. How can i increase quality of image?

Hi can any one tell me How to increase the quality of the images.its Blurry now

Yes i have added that but no use
captureBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.JPEG_QUALITY, (byte) 100 );

 

[nagamothu]

Have a look on this

https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-of-captured-image-using-camera-2-api-android

And one more thing is if i move the phone immediately after clicking capture button images are becoming extremely blurry. i have to keep the phone in same position for 5 sec to capture clear images . Why is That .

 

[Deleted User]

Maybe you've just got a crap quality camera on your phone?

Maybe you've just got a crap quality camera on your phone?

No With Camera i can take good Pictures. Is the code correct? Why it is delayed by 2 -3 seconds after clicking the capture button.

 

[nagamothu]

The only way you have to increase your image quality is increasing your ImageReaderSize to the biggest resolution:

mImageReader = ImageReader.newInstance(pictureSizeValue.getWidth(), pictureSizeValue.getHeight(), format, maxImages);

Also, you can improve the quality using the key CaptureRequest.JPEG_QUALITY in your CaptureRequest.

mCaptureRequestBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.JPEG_QUALITY, (byte) 100);

Yes Done it already.Any other Way
