Tiny Camera using MEMS technology, joined in Guinness book of records..

A specialist medical camera that assesses just 0.65 x 0.65 x 1.158mm has just joined the Guinness Book of Records. The  extent of the tiny piece of stone, it is the camera's small sensor that is certainly being joined into the record book. The OmniVision OV6948 is just 0.575 x 0.575 x 0.232mm and generates a 40,000-pixel color image using an RGB Bayer back-side-illuminated chip. Each photosite estimates just 1.75 µm across.

The determination may seem low, but the OVM6948-RALA camera is constructed to fit down the smallest of veins in the human body  providing surgeons views that will care for diagnosis and with surgical techniques. Recently the surgeon would carry out these operations blind, or use a much lower-resolution fibre optic feed. 

Designed by California-based OmniVision Technologies Inc, the sensor catches its imagery at 30fps, and its analog output can be communicated over distances of up to 4m with minimal noise. The camera unit gives a 120° super-wide angle of view - so something like a 14mm on a full-frame camera. It gives a midst of field range from 3mm to 30mm.
These comparatively high-resolution images are said to be extremely useful in areas such as neurology, ophthalmology, ENT, cardiology, spinal injuries, urology, gynecology and arthroscopy. The low-power consumption of the camera means that less heat is produced, which allows for longer method and better patient satisfaction

Is there deep learning techniques in camera?? Here is the proof...

The New Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is a composite with AF deep learning, new Digic processor, 4K 60fps, CFexpress, 20fps stills shooting Canon has officially confirmed its new flagship pro camera, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III – and it  off a new AF sensor with 28 times the resolution of its predecessor, along with a new Digic processor, AF deep learning algorithm, 4K 60fps video, 20fps stills shooting, CFexpress storage and “hybrid” mirrorless qualities. The EOS-1 series has been around for 30 years and, in an unofficial festivity, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III celebrates the occasional by being starring some of the most  developed technology ever seen in a Canon camera.

Proudly asserted as “the absolute camera for sports and wildlife” that ushers in “a new era of AF speed and accuracy”, the 1D X Mark III’s headline feature is undoubtedly its autofocus performance.It features a brand new AF sensor with 28 times the resolution of the Mark II, which featured a ludicrously accurate 360,000-pixel RGB+IR sensor. By our maths, that gives this new sensor over 10 million pixels of resolution – and, combined with the bleeding-edge AF deep learning algorithm, promises truly ferocious performance. “This is an autofocus system we haven’t seen before,” we were told by David Parry, Canon UK’s product intelligence specialist. “This is something very new, very different.” We’ve seen AI subject detection in cameras like the Olympus OM-D E-M1X, which could recognize and track things like cars and aircraft, but an AF system that actually learns as you shoot is an incredible prospect.

Powering this new tech is a new Digic processor – undoubtedly called the Digic9, though Canon is being very guarded about such specifics. The new processor will also give the camera the necessary horsepower for 4K 60fps, with 10-bit Canon Log and internal RAW recording, as well as the 10-bit HEIF image files it produces – yes, Canon is abandoning JPG.Continuing the ‘out with the old’ mentality, the 1D X Mark III also eschews SD cards and CompactFlash for cutting-edge CFexpress memory – which it needs, when it’s pushing around internal RAW 4K 10-bit video and ridiculous bursts of images.

The blistering continuous shooting speed exploits exploits the strengths of both mirrorless and DSLR shooting capabilities, at 20 frames per second with AF and AE when shooting in Live View mode (via mechanical or electronic shutter), and 16 frames when using the completely lag-free optical viewfinder.

This hybrid functionality gives the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III the best of both worlds. “You can use it like a DSLR, or use it like a mirrorless. It really does feel like that,” Parry told us. “The mirrorless is just as important as the DSLR side to it. And I almost feel like we’ve taken the technology from all the different camps that we have and put it together into this.

Super camera with 500 megapixel, scientists made the awesome stuff...

Chinese scientists have developed a 500-megapixel facial recognition camera four times as large as the human eye, which can identify individuals from tens of thousands of crowds on the streets or in stadiums.The development of surveillance technology, which is rapidly advancing with artificial intelligence, also raises concerns about civil rights.

The technology, known as the "super camera", was unveiled by researchers at the China International Industrial Fair last week.China currently has about 200 million CCTV cameras watching its citizens. Over the past few years, the country has been developing a social credit system that will create a score for every citizen based on their living data, their credit score, their ability to donate to charity and their ability to parent. .

The best deals and access to universities and limited trips are the fines and rewards that citizens receive based on their score.The current CCTV network is a prime tool for collecting data about its citizens, but cameras are not always powerful enough to create a clear picture of one's face in a crowd. A new 500 megapixel camera or 500 million pixels will help you solve that.

The camera’s artificial intelligence can scan a crowd and identify a person within seconds. Samantha Hoffman, an analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, told the ABC that the government owns large databases of people's images, and that video surveillance data "can be provided in a single database, with AI implementation, and tools for social control, including social credit system tools. "In the UK, the Home Office has tried face-to-face technology, despite opposition from campaign groups and police forces.

South Wales police announced they were testing real-time facial recognition technology this summer, and this month the practice was legalized by the High Court.

The Metropolitan Police recently admitted that they provided the King's Cross property - an office area and stores - with pictures to enable facial recognition.
