Abstract

Methods and apparatus to capture photographs using mobile devices are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a photograph capturing controller to capture a first photograph. The apparatus further includes a blurriness analyzer to determine a probability of blurriness of the first photograph. The probability of blurriness is based on an analysis of a portion of the first photograph, the portion excluding a region of the first photograph associated with an auto-focus operation. The example apparatus also includes a photograph capturing interface to prompt a user to capture a new photograph to replace the first photograph when the probability of blurriness exceeds a blurriness threshold.
