A miniature, high-quality digital camera developed for government surveillance applications was unveiled Tuesday for commercial use in mobile devices, telematics and home security by Sarnoff Corp., the research firm that developed color television and LCD technology. If the chip is incorporated into another product, size and cost could be further miniaturized, he said. The camera, brought out at the SPIE Aerosense trade show in Orlando, Fla., also offers startlingly high performance, Lento said. This is essentially approaching the dynamic capability of the human eye. The fast speed, Lento said, means the camera doesn't need to be kept on in a standby mode, further reducing power requirements.
