Acquire Images from a Mobile Device Camera- is max resolution locked at 720p?

I am currently running 2023b update 8 with the MATLAB Support Package for Apple iOS Sensors on an iPhone 8. The maximum resolution when taking images is 720p. Is there any way to get full resolution images? Alternatively is there a way to connect the iPhone to matlab over a wire for full resolution pictures, without the cloud streaming method?

for anyone else looking, the answer is currently no. If you want matlab triggering, you may have better luck using the webcam toolbox.

Hi,

One alternate approach which you can follow is to capture images using the iPhone's native camera app, ensuring full resolution, and then transfer these images to your computer for processing in MATLAB.

1. Capture Images: Use the iPhone's native camera app to capture full-resolution images.
2. Transfer Images: Transfer the images to your computer using methods like AirDrop, email, or a USB connection.
3. Read Images in MATLAB using the "imread" function. For more information on "imread" please refer:https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/imread.html

I hope this helps!

This is what I am doing right now, but I want something where the iphone is triggered along with some other hardware components. Is there a way to trigger the iPhone's native camera app within the software?
