Here's the PDF version of the paper, http://cdpt.ntu.edu.sg/Documents/ncomms%204%201811.pdf http://cdpt.ntu.edu.sg/Documents/ncomms%204%201811.pdf
This is very exciting and has multiple uses:
1 - drastic improvement to P&S and mobile photography (largest source of photos now).
Most of these photos at night suffer from noise and harsh flashes and significant redeye
2 - improving dynamic range in SLR by providing two photodiodes per each pixel. One for high sensitivity (large) and one for low sensitivity to preserve highlights.
3 - providing a great boost to the micro 4/3 systems. The 4/3 makes a great portable platform (size, weight, etc.) however suffers from tremendous shadow noise and as such make it less ideal as a replacement for full-frame (35mm sensors ) SLRs.
4 - might give a new life to Lytro and similar systems. It would allow them to provide higher resolutions images to make them appealing to more demanding phitographers.
5 - worst nightmare for people concerned with government intrusion. It enables cameras to operate in dark streets or other places and keep people under constant watch-day or night.
- cclogg 13y agoI wonder if it'll affect the 'look' of the image too (when you put all of these things together). I've never been a fan of the way digital looked (curse you Bayer filter!!), except for maybe the Foveon sensor now. I've actually been having a lot of fun shooting film lately, and scanning it. Skin tones baby!
- salimmadjd 13y agoWith increase resolution, Bayer's side effects become less and less visible. Nikon has started to remove antialiasing from their recent cameras. Color analog film may look better SOOC for soe images, but you can exceed that in post-processing
- cclogg 13y agoI guess the problem I still see is like in this image (film left, digital right): http://annawu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/81420015b_rt-900x299.jpg http://annawu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/81420015b_... The shadows just fall differently, the skin has a nicer tone (my opinion)... less harsh. I'm sure you could Photoshop/grade it to match more, but only to a certain extent. I'm all for the convenience of digital, just wish they'd improve sensor technology rather than megapixels. But anyway, I'm getting a bit off topic...
- justincormack 13y agoWell the film image looks slightly out of focus and the lighting looks marginally different, so it is not the best comparison. But there are differences, although they are much more noticeable on larger than 35mm film - if you really want something with a different look shoot medium format or large format. You can't really do stuff like George Hurrell any other way http://georgehurrell.com/ http://georgehurrell.com/
- porker 13y agoI know SOOC, but "soe images"? Thanks
- ljf 13y agoSome, I think they miss-typed.
