'Origami lens' slims high resolution cameras

01-30-2007 · EurekAlert!

Engineers at UC San Diego have built a powerful yet ultrathin digital camera by folding up the telephoto lens. This technology may yield lightweight, ultrathin, high resolution miniature cameras for unmanned surveillance aircraft, cell phones and infrared night vision applications.

Single-pixel Camera Takes High-res Images: Engineers Use New Mathematics And Micro Mirrors In ...
10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
Using new mathematics and a silicon chip covered with hundreds of thousands of bacterium-sized mirrors, Rice University engineers have designed a time-multiplexed camera that takes high-resolution images with a single photodiode. Today's battery-hungry megapixel cameras contain millions of photodiodes, but Rice's camera creates an image by capturing one pixel of light several thousands of times in succession. The research will be presented October 11 at Frontiers in Optics 2006 in Rochester, New York.

NASA's New Mars Camera Gives Dramatic View Of Planet
09-30-2006 · ScienceDaily
Mars is ready for its close-up. The highest-resolution camera ever to orbit Mars is returning low-altitude images to Earth from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Rocks and surface features as small as armchairs are revealed in the first image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter since the spacecraft maneuvered into its final, low-altitude orbital path. The imaging of the red planet at this resolution heralds a new era in Mars exploration.

New wide-angle lens produces pictures without distortion
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
South Korean researchers have designed and built an inexpensive optical lens that collects light from a large area and produces a virtually distortion-free wide-angle image. Standing in contrast to commonly known "fisheye" lenses, which produce significant amounts of visual distortion, low-distortion wide-angle lenses can potentially improve image-based applications such as security-camera systems and robot navigation. The research appears in the December 1 issue of Applied Optics, a publication of the Optical Society of America.
