😱😱600 MP camera sensor Rivaling the Human Eye: How Samsung is Opening Up the Possibilities for Image Sensor Technology

600 MP camera sensor that it cases will catch more detail than the natural eye.

Samsung is likewise dealing with different sorts of sensors that can enlist scents or tastes.

Samsung has said that it is chipping away at camera sensor that has goal as high as 600 MP. The South Korean tech monster said that the sensor can catch more detail than the natural eye. 

"Through persistent advancement, we are resolved to open up unlimited prospects in pixel innovations that may even convey picture sensors that can catch more detail than the natural eye," Yongin Park, Head of Sensor Business Team at Samsung, said in an organization blog.

He said that most accessible cameras can just catch pictures that are noticeable to the natural eye at frequencies somewhere in the range of 450 and 750 nanometers. Sensors to distinguish light frequencies outside of the range are difficult to find.

Park said that a natural eye is said to coordinate a goal of around 500 MP. Most leader DSLR cameras and cell phones offer 40 MP and 12 MP goal. 

"We as an industry despite everything have far to go to have the option to coordinate human recognition abilities," Park said. 

Samsung isn't just creating picture sensors, but at the same time is taking a shot at different sorts of sensors that can enroll scents or tastes.

• Samsung is working on creating a 600-megapixel camera for phones.                                                                  
• The camera would capture more detail than the human eye.                                                                                               
• The lens could be launched in the coming months and years.

The dispatch of the Galaxy S20 Ultra saw Samsung furnish its most recent lead with a 108-megapixel sensor. The joint most noteworthy for cell phones, this focal point guaranteed that Samsung snatched a great deal of features throughout the most recent couple of months. 

Aside from raising the photography execution of the gadget, the focal point likewise demonstrated how the telephone creator has developed its camera innovation at a quick pace by redesigning from 12-megapixel focal points to greater focal points in a range of a couple of years. 

The organization has been chipping away at improving pixel binning innovation which has seen it grow enormous sensors - like the much-utilized 64-megapixel and 108-megapixel sensors - and now the organization appears to be taking a shot at a pixel binned focal point with 600-megapixels. 

The data was uncovered by Samsung's Yongin Park, Head of Sensor Business Team, who declared Samsung's arrangements to convey little camera sensors equipped for coordinating and surpassing the goal of the natural eye, supposed to associate with 500 megapixels. 

in a post distributed on Samsung Newsroom, he stated: "until now, the significant applications for picture sensors have been in the cell phones field, yet this is relied upon to grow soon into other quickly developing fields, for example, self-sufficient vehicles, IoT and automatons. Samsung is glad to have been driving the little pixel, high-goal sensor pattern that will proceed through 2020 and past, and is set up to ride the following flood of mechanical advancement with an extensive item portfolio that tends to the different needs of gadget makers. Through steady advancement, we are resolved to open up unlimited prospects in pixel advances that may even convey picture sensors that can catch more detail than the natural eye."

While the organization has not given a course of events for the dispatch of this sensor, it does, notwithstanding, trust the hop can be made sooner rather than later. To feature this it noticed how it took the leap toward 108 megapixels from 64-megapixel focal points in just a half year. 

In the post, Samsung has additionally clarified that it isn't just taking a gander at expanding sensor size for the future camera yet in addition, making new advances that can on a very basic level change how we connect with our general surroundings later on. 

"In addition to the fact that we are creating picture sensors, yet we are likewise investigating different sorts of sensors that can enroll scents or tastes. Sensors that even go past human detects will before long become an essential aspect of our every day lives, and we are energized by the likely such sensors to need to make the undetectable noticeable and help individuals by going past what our own faculties are able to do."

With its Galaxy S20 Ultra cell phone, Samsung broke the 108-megapixel hindrance on a telephone camera just because, yet the organization doesn't plan to stop there. 

In a blog entry on Samsung's site, Samsung's head of sensor business group Yongin Park diagrams — in wide terms — the organization's driven designs for picture sensors, and a portion of the deterrents it needs to defeat to accomplish them. 

"So as to fit a large number of pixels in the present cell phones that highlight other bleeding edge specs like high screen-to-body proportions and thin plans, pixels definitely need to shrivel so sensors can be as smaller as could reasonably be expected. On the other side, littler pixels can bring about fluffy or dull pictures, because of the littler zone that every pixel gets light data from. The stalemate between the quantity of pixels a sensor has and pixels' sizes has become a difficult exercise that requires strong mechanical ability," he clarifies.

So, how far will Samsung go? Park mentions a 600-megapixel sensor, though he doesn't offer many details. It's not just about smartphones, he says; major applications for image sensors are "expected to expand soon into other rapidly-emerging fields such as autonomous vehicles, IoT and drones." 

Interestingly, this means that in the future, these sensors will be in some ways more powerful than our eyes, which Park says match a resolution of "around 500 megapixels." In the future, "we might even have sensors that can see microbes not visible to the naked eye," he says. 

Taking pictures or videos throughout the day has become part of our normal lifestyles and no longer done just to capture special events. Whip out your mobile camera to immortalize a delectable-looking meal, to record your latest dance moves, or even just when you’re having a good hair day, and you’re ready to share your images with friends right away. These seamless experiences have become possible thanks to remarkable advancements in recent mobile photography, and at the very heart of this revolution is the mobile chips that transform light into digital data – image sensors.

 

The image sensors we ourselves perceive the world through – our eyes – are said to match a resolution of around 500 megapixels (Mp). Compared to most DSLR cameras today that offer 40Mp resolution and flagship smartphones with 12Mp, we as an industry still have a long way to go to be able to match human perception capabilities.

 

Simply putting as many pixels as possible together into a sensor might seem like the easy fix, but this would result in a massive image sensor that takes over the entirety of a device. In order to fit millions of pixels in today’s smartphones that feature other cutting-edge specs like high screen-to-body ratios and slim designs, pixels inevitably have to shrink so that sensors can be as compact as possible.

 

On the flip side, smaller pixels can result in fuzzy or dull pictures, due to the smaller area that each pixel receives light information from. The impasse between the number of pixels a sensor has and pixels’ sizes has become a balancing act that requires solid technological prowess.

 

 

Cutting-Edge Pixel Technologies

Drawing from the technology leadership and experience our memory business possesses, Samsung has been managing to expertly navigate this balance in our image sensors. In May 2019, we were able to announce the industry’s first 64Mp sensor, and just six months later, brought 108Mp sensors to the market.

 

For our latest 108Mp image sensor, the ISOCELL Bright HM1, we implemented our proprietary ‘Nonacell technology,’ which dramatically increases the amount of light absorption pixels are capable of. Compared to previous Tetracell technology which features a 2×2 array, the 3×3 pixel structure of Nonacell technology allows, for instance, nine 0.8μm pixels to function as one 2.4-μm pixel. This also mitigates the issue raised by low-light settings where light information is often scarce.

 

In 2019, Samsung was also the first to introduce image sensors based on 0.7μm pixels. The industry had considered 0.8μm as the smallest possible size pixels could be reduced to, but to our engineers, ‘technological limitations’ are just another challenge that motivates their innovation.

 

 

Sensors that Go Beyond Our Senses

Most cameras today can only take pictures that are visible to the human eye at wavelengths between 450 and 750 nanometers (nm). Sensors able to detect light wavelengths outside of that range are hard to come by, but their use can benefit a wide range of areas. For example, image sensors equipped for ultraviolet light perception can be used for diagnosing skin cancer by capturing pictures to showcase healthy cells and cancerous cells in different colors. Infrared image sensors can also be harnessed for more efficient quality control in agriculture and other industries. Somewhere in the future, we might even be able to have sensors that can see microbes not visible to the naked eye.

 

Not only are we developing image sensors, but we are also looking into other types of sensors that can register smells or tastes. Sensors that even go beyond human senses will soon become an integral part of our daily lives, and we are excited by the potential such sensors have to make the invisible visible and help people by going beyond what our own senses are capable of.

 

 

Aiming for 600Mp for All

To date, the major applications for image sensors have been in the smartphones field, but this is expected to expand soon into other rapidly-emerging fields such as autonomous vehicles, IoT and drones. Samsung is proud to have been leading the small-pixel, high-resolution sensor trend that will continue through 2020 and beyond, and is prepared to ride the next wave of technological innovation with a comprehensive product portfolio that addresses the diverse needs of device manufacturers. Through relentless innovation, we are determined to open up endless possibilities in pixel technologies that might even deliver image sensors that can capture more detail than the human eye.
