California startup Pelican Imaging wants to put slimmer, higher-quality cameras in to cellphones with its new camera-array technology. Instead of using a singular lens and sensor, the camera uses an form of not as big modules and uses mathematics to mix them in to a singular image. The consequent hardware is thin, but that is may the smallest engaging thing about it.
The Pelican form uses "light-field photography", and in reserve from only stitching tiny cinema in to a big one, it does a few things a periodic camera can't. For instance, you can diddle with the photo after it is taken, blurring a background, say. And in element at least, you could use a type of 3D "healing brush" to paint out distractions at the back and in front of your subject.
Pelican's camera moreover promises to give high fortitude images with low-noise results in low-light situations, and could capacitate gesture-controls on tablets.
The tech is being sole in to the industry, not to consumers, so we'll keep our fingers crossed that Apple will purchase this and use it to reinstate the crappy camera in its lean iPod Touch.
