The system means that we could existing image capture chips with sub-gigapixel resolution to form fast gigapixel images. Each chip is receiving the light from one tube. They are building an array of ...

It’s a bit of a truism that bigger sensors lead to better pictures when it comes to photography. Of course everyone who isn’t a photographer knows that moar megapixles is moar better. So, when ...

Imagine a panoramic photograph with such high resolution that you could zoom in on a postage stamp more than half a mile away, or read signs that are blocks away from your vantage point. That is just ...

Here is progress report on DARPAs work to achieve all seeing multicameras at the physical limit of space and time resolution. They are achieving vision 30 to 50 times beyond the limit of human vision.

Get ready for another major leap forward in digital photography—one that could transform television news in the future. A military-funded project at Duke University has developed an experimental video ...

The US Army's newest Hummingbird drone can shoot 1.8 gigapixel images that, from 20,000 feet high, cover an area of 25 square miles. The drone uses image sensor technology from DARPA in order to do ...

MIT engineers have developed silicon chips that will be at the heart of a telescope installed on Haleakala mountain, Maui, Hawaii, which will begin operation next month. The system, called Pan-STARRS ...

If a picture is worth a thousand words, than a picture taken with a gigapixel camera must be worth millions. Scientists at Duke University have built an astonishing prototype camera that, not unlike ...

When a small team of researchers recently wheeled a supercamera up to the edge of a bay at Mason Neck State Park in Northern Virginia, there was no need to point the camera at anything specific.

Engineers from Duke University and the University of Arizona have successfully synched up 98 tiny cameras to develop a single prototype camera with a resolution five times better than a person with 20 ...

Smartphone cameras have gotten so good that we struggle to find a reason to invest in a point-and-shoot, but there are still major advancements being made in camera tech that are light years ahead of ...

A new digital camera capable of taking images with resolutions equivalent to 50,000 megapixels has been unveiled in America. Electrical engineers from Duke University and the University of Arizona ...
