Η Canon revealed a new one image sensor at 250MP, who makes toys such as Spider , Stargate and Blade Runner to they finally feel justified.
ΠAlthough this new sensor is not able to see from behind corners, it is large enough to allow users to zoom in, then zoom in again, zoom out again - just like you see in a science fiction movie or a science fiction TV show of the decade 1990 or in the early XNUMXs 2000.
This new image sensor Canon is built for archiving and monitoring purposes, and not for widespread use (at least not yet), as in Smartphones for example.
Her new camera sensor Canon got the name LI8020SA, and is a sensor CMOS in 250 megapixel, and may in the coming years be ready to be released on DSLR cameras but also in other special imaging devices. The sensor was revealed by Canon Japan and targets both industries and various markets that specialize in monitoring, such as Security companies for example.
Below you will see a collection of techniques "Zoom and image enhancements”That we have seen from time to time in various movies and TV shows in recent decades.
Then you will see a video from Canon Japan showing what this new sensor can do. In this video note that the material we will see comes from a sensor APS-H (29,35mm x 18,88mm), able to conceive pixel to 1,5um (pixel size). This device captures images at a resolution 19568 x 12588 pixels per frame.
At full resolution, this camera sensor can pull 5 frames per second (at 10 bits). This camera can also record resolution ROI (FHD) in 60 frames per second (also in 10 bits).
In addition to the ability to use a BIG image with standard zoom, this sensor works with a technology called "Area of interest“. With the area of interest, the user can select a section 8K of the full mirror of the sensor for shooting (instead of the full FOV). With this smaller section, the sensor can capture on 24 frames per second (above the standard 5 frames per second in full resolution).
Another feature of this sensor is that it allows video capture in almost full resolution at 45 frames per second, but with skipping lines. This way you will have slightly less detail in the vertical (1/9), but you will have 45 frames every second instead of 5.
We're not going to see this sensor integrated into consumer-level cameras anytime soon - but it would not be at all to see some of its improved features appear on smaller sensors before the end. 2021!
