2-GIGAPIXEL CAMERA by DUKE UNIVERSITY
Imagine guys a resolution that would highlight the smallest detail in the picture like
sky shot that captures a man walking way beneath,
or a tear drop waiting to hit the ground!....
Researchers at DUKE UNIVERSITY are developing wide-field,videos-rate,gigapixel cameras in small, low-cost form factors.
They are using multiscale designs that combine a mono-centric objective lens with arrays of secondary
micro cameras.Then the field-of-view (FOV) is increased by arraying micro-cameras along the focal
surface of the objective.
FOV with 226 micro-cameras, 38 micro-radian FOV for a single pixel,and an effective f-number of 2.17.
Each micro-camera operates at 10 fps at full resolution. Cameras performances
are unimaginable.
Each micro-camera operates independently, offering much more flexibility in images capture,exposure and focus parameters.
