Abstract
This document describes techniques and apparatuses for computational photography under low-light conditions for an image-capture device on a mobile computing device. In aspects, described are techniques and apparatuses for an image-capture device to utilize sensor data in determining whether to enable flash photography or capture multiple images of the scene without use of a flash under low-light conditions. In other aspects, an image-capture device may utilize device data in determining whether to enable flash photography or capture multiple images of the scene without use of a flash under low-light conditions. The disclosed techniques and apparatuses may provide improved computational photography under low-light conditions for an image-capture device on a mobile computing device.
