What’s that in your fancy, expensive digital SLR camera: 40 megapixels? Yawn.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]
Researchers have designed a camera that could take 50,000-megapixel shots. Though the team has currently built and tested only a 1,000-megapixel (one gigapixel) camera, they are constructing a 10,000-megapixel version and foresee future cameras with much higher resolution.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]
“Scanning a scene with these cameras, you can see a lot more than if you were actually there,” said electrical engineer [url="http://fds.duke.edu/db/pratt/ECE/dbrady"]David Brady[/url] of Duke University, who co-authored a paper detailing the camera’s design published in [url="http://www.nature.com/"][i]Nature[/i][/url] on June 20.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]
While mosaic images have been made in the past with gigapixel resolution, there are very few cameras that can take a single gigapixel shot. [url="http://www.gigapxl.org/"]The Gigapixl project[/url], which aims to compile portraits of cities and monuments across the US, uses a camera with 4-gigapixel resolution.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]
But achieving such ultra-high resolution requires overcoming many challenges. Past gigapixel arrays are costly, computationally complex, and suffer from geometric aberrations. Brady and his team created their gigapixel camera by thinking small — they synchronized nearly 100 individual microcameras to produce perfect images with lower processing power and fewer problems. Their gigapixel device is powerful enough to read a postage stamp from more than half a mile away.[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]
