Another happy new innovation that'll never see the light of day.


Whether it ever makes it's way into hand-held cameras or not, I
cannot tell but the detection of photons down to the level of single
electrons is almost certainly going to attract someone's attention.

Why is it, Rich sounds like a member of the 1975 Kodak board?

I thought he was making a joke, the sensitivity of the sensor being
too much for daylight. It would be used for seeing the dark of night.

Nah! Too many Brownies were plastic.

Ah, photon counting sensors yet again.

The article above has few details, but it sounds like the idea is to
make pixels so small and numerous that recording only a 0 or 1 is good
enough. It's essentially the optical version of a 1 bit dithered image.
That should work extremely well for machine vision. I doubt it will be
photographic quality until technology is in the "flying car" era.
