Researcher Launches 50 Giga Pixel Camera Prototype

CALIFORNIA - The electrical engineer from Duke University and the University of Arizona have created a prototype. The prototype can capture images up to 50 gigapiksel. The ability of these cameras can also provide detailed images that have never produced by any camera.


Reporting from DigitalSpy, Sunday (24/6/2012 /), the camera resolution is said to be "five times better than the 20/20 human vision with the horizontal plane 120 degrees".

For your information, the camera slide on the market currently has a 40 megapixel capability, while the device is made ​​by the engineer prototiper It can capture images up to 50 thousand megapixels.

Pixels are individual data "dots" - the greater the resolution, the image will be generated the better. Through a press release, the researchers believe this is a "next generation of cameras gigapiksel", this camera is expected to slide in watu five years.

Details of this camera was developed by a team led by professor David Brady and Michael J Fitzpatrick of Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. This project received funding from DARPA - United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
