Kodak will develop a new technology that can be applied to any image sensor

​Kodak has developed a new image sensor technology that could overcome a major flaw in digital cameras: poor imaging quality in dim environments.

Mike DeLuca, marketing manager for kodak image sensor solutions, says the new technology increases the sensitivity of existing image sensors by half.This means that the camera's shutter speed can be reduced by half or a quarter of the time, reducing the problem of camera shake or motion blur.It also allows photographers to take pictures with less image "noise" in low-light environments.

The sensitivity of digital cameras has become a serious problem, the higher the image pixel, the more noise problems.IDC analyst Christopher Chute said: "noise is really annoying, mainly because there's not enough light.Kodak's new technology is quite revolutionary.

Unlike other technologies, kodak's new technology can be adapted to any image sensor, and kodak hopes to license the technology in the future to make it widely available.In addition, kodak's technology can sense the actual movement of people's eyes.This technique does not require fundamental changes to the core of the image sensor.It simply adds "panchromatic" pixels to the usual array of red, green and blue pixels.A software program is then used to reconstruct the full color image.
