Morpho Joins the Qualcomm Software Accelerator Program
and Announces the First Optimization of MovieSolid
on Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 Mobile Platform

Tokyo, Japan – June 14, 2019– Morpho, Inc. (hereinafter, “Morpho”), a global leader in image processing solutions and imaging AI solutions, announced today that they are now a member of the Qualcomm® Software Accelerator Program.

Working in alliance with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, and smartphone OEMs, Morpho can develop and offer advanced software features and applications which are compatible with the advanced camera image processing capabilities of Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ mobile platforms. This program also allows Morpho to access training, support and advice from camera solution experts at Qualcomm Technologies to enable delivery of an optimized solution onto mobile platforms.

As a result of joining this program, Morpho is working with Qualcomm Technologies to bring support for their MovieSolid® video stabilization software to the Snapdragon 665 Mobile Platform. While the choice to license this technology lies with each OEM, the optimized version of MovieSolid will significantly reduce the integration cost to device makers making it easier and faster to implement Morpho’s state-of-the-art video stabilization on Snapdragon 665 devices. Morpho will continue to collaborate with Qualcomm Technologies to enhance the camera functionalities of the Snapdragon mobile platform.

"MovieSolid" (https://www.morphoinc.com/en/technology/vstab) is an embedded software program for stabilizing video. It uses "SOFTGYRO®" for detecting motions accurately between consecutive image frames, and correcting them in up to 6 degrees of freedom (DOF: yaw, pitch, roll, and translations along the x, y, z axes). Furthermore, the software is also capable of correcting geometric distortions (i.e., rolling shutter distortions) due to a CMOS sensor.

Established in 2004, Morpho is a research and development-led company in image processing technology. It has globally expanded its advanced image processing technology as embedded software, for domestic and overseas customers centered on the smartphone market, broadcasting stations and content providers. It has also provided image recognition technology utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), collecting image information captured by cameras into devices and clouds and analyzing it, for fields such as automotive devices, factory automation, and medical care. Morpho will provide broad support, making a wide range of innovations happen with its imaging technology and Deep Learning technology.
