Samsung has published a blog post explaining its technology in response to accusations it fakes photos of the moon taken with its Galaxy smartphones and details the steps its artificial intelligence (AI) goes through to produce improved moon photos.
Samsung has been accused of doctoring moon photos taken with the Galaxy S Ultra smartphones with pre-existing images using artificial intelligence to make it look as though the quality is better than usually possible with such a small sensor.
In two videos published to its Weibo account in China, Samsung has teased both high resolution and improved low light sensitivity in its coming Galaxy S23 smartphone.
ArduCam has announced a new $399 108-megapixel USB camera module that is designed for use in machine vision applications. While it can run with Raspberry Pi, its USB interface makes it a lot more versatile for other applications.
Colorado-based aerial remote imaging company Urban Sky has announced that it has begun commercial operations to provide full-color imagery from its "microballoon" platform that photographs the Earth from the stratosphere.
Photography has been the most standard way to capture events for decades. If you want an event documented, you hire a photographer. However, in the next few years, that could all change.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has released the highest resolution photo ever taken of the Sun that includes its full disc, outer atmosphere, and corona that has ever been captured.
I believe in a happy medium, somewhere between too little and too much. Aristotle defended this view with his Golden Mean, the middle ground between excess and deficiency. Apply it to the pleasures of life, to your emotions, to your decision-making, and it makes practical sense. Even digital photography follows Aristotle’s wisdom.
Photographer Thomas Blanchard has captured the unstable mixture of water and sodium acetate. When subjected to even light agitation, the solution moves from a liquid to a solid, a process he captured in brilliant 8K resolution.
A groundbreaking research project at Heriot-Watt University promises a new camera technology that can affordably deliver millions of frames per second capture in high resolution.
It all started when a couple Iowa guys’ video production company booked a commercial video project with the nation’s largest magazine publisher in collaboration with Arizona tourism. The fun story here is how we ended up on top of a mountain, in the Arizona wilderness, taking photos.
The Japanese Cultural Heritage Inheritance Project partnered with Canon to make a visually identical copy of an ancient and priceless piece of Japanese art by combining a 4.2-gigapixel photo with the skills of artisans who practice ancient techniques.
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has released an interactive photo of The Night Watch painting by Rembrandt in a staggering resolution of 717-gigapixels. The museum claims it is the highest resolution photo of artwork ever captured.
Growing up in a communist country, we had no access to or real knowledge of the outside world. With the information that we now take for granted tightly controlled, we were living in a bubble. When communism ended, my entire concept of what the planet and all living things were all about changed quickly and dramatically.
Well-known astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy has captured a stunning new photograph of the Sun with an impressive amount of detail by combining 150,000 separate photos captured from his backyard.
Sony has announced the Venice 2, the successor to the company's first full-frame cinema camera. It features 8.6K capture, 16-stops of dynamic range, and the ability to interchange sensors between models for added versatility.
The Landsat 9, a joint mission between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has captured its first photos as part of its mission to document changes to the planet and the impacts of climate change.
In 2014, I started my project Applied Metaphysics – Ground Truth on exemplary still life. The goal was to produce very large prints (2 to 9 square meters and more) at a high resolution so that people could look at them very closely.
There is a purveying thought that larger resolution sensors, with therefore smaller pixels, are worse than lower resolution sensors, with therefore larger pixels, in low light. This is a myth.
Accomplished astrophotographer Bartosz Wojczyński has created a gigantic 2.2 gigapixel photo of the Milky Way that he was able to capture in just one night, which is an astounding achievement given that a similar 1.7 gigapixel photo took another photographer 12 years to complete.
Following last month's announcement that it was testing full-size images as previews in timelines, Twitter today announced that both iOS and Android users can choose to upload and view images in 4K.
CMOS image sensors, while amazing in many ways, aren't flawless: they are affected by many different types of noise introduction that can reduce image quality. That noise can lead to corrupted pixels -- or "bad" pixels -- and Samsung has unveiled a new method to get rid of them: a neural network.
Researchers with the University of Arizona have released a new close-up image of Mars's giant canyon that was taken with NASA's HiRISE camera which sits onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. These images were captured in an attempt to ascertain the origins of the canyon.
China's Chang'e 5 probe landed on the surface of the moon on December 1, 2020. Less than a day later, it has sent back a short video of its descent along with an extremely high-resolution panoramic image of the surface of the moon.
Over the past week, multiple rumor sites have reported that Sony is actively developing a new Sony a9 full-frame mirrorless camera that could be described as a "Canon R5 Killer." The camera will allegedly feature a 50MP sensor, shoot 8K video, and be released in Q1 of 2021.
The folks over at ElderFox Documentaries have put together a "world's first." Using ultra-high resolution photo mosaics captured by NASA's various Mars Rovers over the years, they've created a 4K UHD 'tour' of the Martian landscape.
Blackmagic just unveiled the URSA Mini Pro 12K: an 80MP monster of a cinema camera that can shoot 12K RAW video at up to 60fps. That's 80 megapixels per frame captured at 60 frames per second on a Super 35mm image sensor... for less than $10,000.
Leica has just revealed another M10 variant. Following in the footsteps of the Leica M10-P with its quiet shutter, the M10-D that lacks the LCD screen, and the M10 Monochrom with a 40MP black-and-white image sensor, we now have the Leica M10-R: a high-resolution version of the Leica M10 that uses the same sensor as the Monochrom, but shoots color.
Earlier today, OmniVision announced an impressive 64MP 1/2-inch image sensor that will be ideal for ultra-thin, high-end smartphones. 64MP is an industry first at this size, achieved by shrinking the pixels all the way down to just 0.7 microns.
Canon is reportedly working on a high-megapixel full-frame mirrorless EOS R camera. The camera, which is allegedly already being tested IRL by a select group of photographers, is said to boast an image sensor around 80-90 megapixels of resolution on offer.
