Researchers at Princeton University and the University of Washington made a breakthrough when they developed a camera the size of a salt grain – less than half a millimeter wide – capable of capturing unbelievably clear, full-color images with unprecedented detail.
Now, it appears, the team has pushed the boundaries once again by developing a new type of compact camera designed for computer vision, a type of AI that helps computers identify objects in pictures and videos.
The prototype, which introduces a new approach to computer vision, relies on light instead of electricity, consumes far less energy than a traditional computer, and identifies objects at the speed of light.
