So it’s a video camara ! I didn’t know we had those. all we had was youtube but now…..
Some of the stuff is ridiculous…”This technology could possibly be used by future scientists looking for cheaper and more resourceful ways to identify the moment when rotten bananas become too soft for enjoyable human consumption.” ….thanks
look at it this way. this is essentially taking several light sensitive chips, the gizmos in digital cameras that react to light and send actual image data to a hard drive, and simply blending them together. this way you dont have to take one full image at the time, but can take several at the same time, or at slight delays, making for far more accurate super-slow motion video
Becuase… a rotting banana is a fast cellular process?
I’m so confused ……….
cool I hope this’ll make regular high speed cameras cheaper.
this actually simple and cool… making a sort of short movie with the information of one frame just by fotoanalisis… it’s kind of a smart .GIF of fotography
Something practical at last
@ballyboneman It is in unpractical things where real knowledge lies.
@ code933k. I’m all for knowledge for knowledge’s sake, but a little practical application now and again is always welcome
are you serious? That is awesome
The world is moving TOO fast! How can we keep up?
WHOA! That is amazingly awesome!
Talk about the power of software exploitation of hardware!
this made me confused….
@code933k that’s why i’m developing a car that can drive across the surface of the sun
cool i’ll go turn my phones camera into a 2,000,000 fps camera now!
that is neat, i would have never though of doing it that way.
this is awesome
simpsons did it
Ummm isn’t that how Video Cameras work? All though the extra high resulation from still photos mite come in handy but g must need a power image processor in the camera and a very good lens etc
ah no, normally you’d use all the pixels to get a image/video this one would say, quater the resolution, but get 4x the frame rate.
No. In a videocam ALL the pixels are lit at the same time. What they do here is divide the pixels into groups. for example 4 groups.The 4 groups are lit individually, but also have a 4th of the resolution. This way they can use (cheap) HD cameras instead of pricey high speed cameras.
You can capture at 1280×720 @ 30fps. OR 640×360 @ 120fps. The handy thing about this is that you don’t lose any data. You can recombine the pixels to get the 720p30 video again for more detail (at the cost of fps).
does it allow faster frame capture rates?
Cool idea, surprised it hadn’t been thought of before. I like this guy’s narration.
