Duke Kunshan University has unveiled the world’s first ultra-billion pixel array camera which is expected to usher in a revolution in the development and commercialization of gigapixel cameras at affordable cost.
The monitoring image of the mainstream camera on the market is able to adjust the camera to zoom in on the details, but at the same time, the lens outside the part cannot be recorded.
The monitoring image of the super pixel array security camera does not need to turn the camera angle to complete the recording on the scene. It can also arbitrarily magnify any part to see into the distance and the overall view.
At the Kunshan Industrial Technology Research Institute, the researchers have used camera arrays to integrate 19 high-definition cameras on the same device, which can be customized according to customer requirements for different monitoring areas, perspectives, and distances.
The upgrading of data acquisition and imaging range has greatly expanded the application of intelligent analysis technology in the field of security, which will promote the development of the next generation of intelligent security technology.
In January this year, Duke Kunshan University launched a new computational imaging research lab in collaboration with local partners in the city of Kunshan. The lab is led by David Brady, a highly respected professor from Duke University and Duke Kunshan University.
The lab focuses its research and development efforts to produce the next generation of photography tools that will be able to capture images in ultra-high definition by synchronizing small cameras into one single device.
