CameraTest

Camera Test

This app tests the camera energy consumption by taking pictures.

How does it work?

This app engages a loop which takes a picture on an interval determined by the frequency provided.

Frequencies

For this app we used the following frequencies:

• Low frequency: 15 seconds
• Medium frequency: 10 seconds
• High frequency: 5 seconds

Changing the frequency

You can easily change the frequency by opening the project in Android Studio, go to the MainActivity.kt class look for the sentence handler.postDelayed(runnable, low_frequency). Here you can change the frequency by simply substituting low_frequency with medium_frequency or high_frequency.

Benchmark settings

• Disable WiFi
