It incorporates active hyperspectral imaging technology developed by M Squared and a single -
pixel camera developed by the Glasgow research
team.
Yet by connecting a single -
pixel camera to a patterned light source, a
team of physicists in China has made detailed x-ray images using a statistical technique called ghost imaging, first pioneered 20 years ago in infrared and visible light.
But this was only the beginning — the new setup enabled Stelzer's
team to use a much faster
camera, recording about 60 million
pixels per second.
At this point, the
team embarked on two parallel paths: one was to more carefully scrutinize the HST data to ensure that no
camera artifacts (e.g., optical ghosts, bad
pixels, etc.) were fooling us, and the other was to seek confirming data from any other (i.e., non-HST) available resource.
Designed and developed by a
team of nuclear physicists led by senior scientist Howard Wieman at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, now retired, the HFT is the first silicon detector at a collider that uses a technology found in digital
cameras called monolithic active
pixel sensor technology.
The
team also explained that with the
Pixel 2
camera, the company pushed the HDR Plus mode seen on the original
Pixel further.
Huawei makes smart use of all those
pixels by combining four of them into one, similarly to what Nokia previously did with its PureView
cameras on the 808 and Lumia 1020 (incidentally, Huawei's head of imaging, Eero Salmelin, is a veteran of Nokia's PureView
team).
As for me, I'll be sticking with the
Pixel 2 XL; it's got the best
camera on the market, better (and more consistent) performance than most phones out there, better wireless audio support than most phones, and the full backing of Google's software
team and all the cool tools and immediate updates that come with that.
I spoke with Marc Levoy, a renowned computer graphics researcher who now leads a computational photography
team at Google Research, about how software helps make the
Pixel camera as good as it is.
In an interview published in fonearena back in November of last year, the
Pixel 2's
camera team explained that it did a lot of optimization within the
Pixel camera app to ensure optimal performance, which means that the
Pixel Visual Core isn't necessary for images captured with the native
camera app.
Having recently acquired HTC's smartphone design
team for $ 1.1 billion, Google will be hoping to build on the strength of its world - best
Pixel camera technology by creating more appealing devices in 2018 and beyond.
