Semiconductor company Spectricity has developed a proprietary spectral imaging technology that is capable of greatly improving smartphone cameras by making them smarter and able to capture colors more consistently no matter the lighting condition.
The S1 multispectral image sensor, as Spectricity calls it, can see more light than current three-color RGB sensors. It is the world’s first truly miniaturized, mass-manufacturable mobile spectral image sensor and camera module. The S1 is so much more powerful than current conventional sensors that not only can it see more visible light, it can also look toward the near-infrared spectrum. The result is that it is able to reproduce more consistent colors in photos that look more natural and have better white balance than current sensors can.
“A standard camera integrated into a smartphone has an RGB sensor that sees red, green, and blue,” Spectricity’s CEO Vincent Mouret tells Digital Trends. Read More…
