APP TO AUTOMATICALLY SELECT THE SHARPEST IMAGE

Objective: To build an app that can automatically select the best quality photos out of the all of the frames taken from the continuous shooting mode camera app. This is not a research project. Requirements: Demonstrates code efficiently accessing pixel data (using Metal shaders if most efficient) and applying one industry standard method for focus or sharpness evaluation, such as Laplacian or localized variance. Intent is not to engineer the best focus determination method, but show us how and where we can implement our own. Ability to import photos from a photo album Out of the images taken in quick succession, add the ability to automatically to select the 5 sharpest photos, ordered by sharpness metric, in under 1 second Ability to process images to find the image with maximum sharpness/focus metric and easily be able to apply better methods if necessary Preferred Device: iPhone 6s, or 7, or 8
