I suspect the raw output of their main sensing sensors is proprietary somehow.

  Doubtful. There's no way they are making the CCDs/MOSFETS/etc. themselves, you'd need a heck of a chip fab and for almost no increase in usability. Most chips these days are very good at what they do. The main issue is what kind of sensor are they using. However, based on the compression that twitter is using to send you the video, we really don't have any way of knowing what the sensor is (bit-depth, frame-rate, dwell time, wavelength sensitivity, etc). exp: http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/www_detector/ccdgroup/optheory/ccdoperation.html http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/www_detector/ccdgroup/optheory/ccd...

    I don't mean they made their own CCD chips, (and I guess I didn't mean raw like what the voltages are at the digitizer), but the configuration and pre-processing prior to being fed into their algorithm probably is considered valuable enough that they wouldn't want to publicly display it.

      Do you mean trade secret? There shouldn't be any copyright/IP claim on the autonimously created sensor data.

        If anything it would be a patent.
