An adoption of a multi-sensor approach to imaging within the consumer imaging markets
The consumer
imaging markets are steadily exciting with streamlined approaches that bring up
dramatic improvements in resolution and optical zoom, to name a few.
I can observe that, the LightL16 leverages this trend ;employing nearly 16 image sensors that are distributed
across the front surface of the camera to present the user with a light capture
area equal to, or even exceeding, that of
many digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras currently on the market.
In effect, through its close collaboration with Light, ON Semiconductor was able to supply specially customized
sensor devices, based on its 1/3.2-inch format AR1335 CMOS image sensor product
offering.
With up to
10 sensor devices capturing image data simultaneously, this solution aims to an
impressive 52 megapixel (MP) resolution, plus over 5X optical zoom without any
degradation in image quality.
