VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE   Researchers at Duke University, Durham have developed a camera called AWARE-2, which can take 1,000 mega pixel pictures. Researchers claim that the age of consumer gigapixel cameras are just around the corner – and they’ve created a prototype gigapixel camera to back up their claim. David Brady, Duke said, “A computer processor essentially stitches all this information into a single highly detailed image. In many instances, the camera can capture images of things that photographers cannot see themselves but can then detect when the image is viewed later. The development of high-performance and low-cost microcamera optics and components has been the main challenge in our efforts to develop gigapixel cameras. While novel multiscale lens designs are essential, the primary barrier to ubiquitous high-pixel imaging turns out to be lower power and more compact integrated circuits, not the optics.” Michael Gehm, University of Arizona s...
