Is there a way to detect the UV ray from the iPhone camera without any hardwares? I don't want to find the exact UV index of the light.
I tried to take a photo from a UV light, but if I analyse that photo, I can only get the RGB pixels. How do I get to know that the photo is taken from UV light? How do the photos taken from the UV light, are differ from the photos taken in the normal light?
I found an app called GammaPix in the app store which says it could detect the radio activity in an area by using only the camera. I want something like that to detect the UV rays.
It is unlikely you can detect UV light via a standard smartphone camera, at least not without a lot of work.
The GammaPix app does not detect gamma rays directly, but instead "looks for a particular 'signature' left behind by gamma rays" on the camera. The technology behind this signature detection is patented, and was developed as part of a $679,000 DARPA grant.
