Canon develops a 1″ 4k CMOS back-illuminated stacked sensor with 24 stops of dynamic range, Panasonic develops Hyperspectral Imaging Technology with the world’s highest sensitivity
Canon develops a 1" 4k CMOS back-illuminated stacked sensor with 24 stops of dynamic range:
The new sensor divides the image into 736 areas and automatically determines the best exposure settings for each area
The new sensor realizes a dynamic range of 148 dB—the highest-level performance in the industry among image sensors for monitoring applications. It is capable of image capture at light levels ranging from approximately 0.1 lux to approximately 2,700,000 lux.
In order to produce a natural-looking image when capturing images in environments with both bright and dark areas, conventional high-dynamic-range image capture requires taking multiple separate photos under different exposure conditions and then synthesizing them into a single image.
Panasonic develops Hyperspectral Imaging Technology with the world's highest sensitivity:
Improve sensitivity beyond physical restrictions through data acquisition with thinning out using a special filter randomly transmitting multiple wavelengths of light.
Achieves clear images even in indoor illumination (550 lux) through hyperspectral imaging with the world's highest sensitivity (about 10 times higher than conventional ones).
Achieves hyperspectral imaging with color camera-comparable usability by improving frame rates*5 to levels as high as video-rates (over 30 fps) via a uniquely developed algorithm.
For now, the above developments are not designed for the photo industry, but this may change on the future.
