The technique you're referring to is aligning sensors over each other, each collecting a different color so you don't have to use a bayer filter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-CCD_camera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-CCD_camera). Chroma aligns multiple image sensors next to each other, to scale the resolution without increasing chip complexity. For instance, we can merge 4 4K sensors to create an ultra low cost 8K camera.
- vardump 7y agoNope. I'm talking about having sensors next to each other. Very common in astronomical and medical (x-ray) applications at least. Aligning multiple sensors next to each other has existed for at least 20 years, probably more.
- lmoj 7y agoastronomical and medical Sounds expensive! And when you tile sensors that way you still have gaps in between them. http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/rwoclass/astr1230/im/MegaCam-CCDmosaic-CFHT-Scale.jpg http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/rwoclass/astr1230/im/MegaCam... We put off-the-shelf (cheap) sensors side by side with no gaps.
