Hitachi today announced the development of a camera technology that can capture video images without using a lens and adjust focus after image capture by using a film imprinted with a ...

Researchers believe lensless cameras may pave the way for tiny future cameras, but the latest academic experiment with an lens-free camera uses something that already exists as a “lens” instead: a ...

Weijian Yang, right and graduate student Feng Tian developed a camera that uses a thin microlens array and new image processing algorithms to capture 3D information about multiple objects in single ...

Lensless imaging technology introduces computing power into the conventional optical imaging system. The lensless camera becomes compact and easy-to-build. The earliest lensless camera could be ...

The Bell Labs lensless camera in action. (Courtesy: Gang Huang, Hong Jiang, Kim Matthews and Paul Wilford/Bell Labs) A new kind of camera that does not form a physical image has been developed by ...

While cameras continue to get smaller, using a lens to focus light physically limits this process, even with ultra-thin flat lenses on the way, and explains why so many smartphones have protruding ...

Australian and U.S. scientists have developed a lensless camera which uses X-rays to view nanoscale materials and biological specimens. As says one researcher, 'there is no lens involved at all; ...

Even as our phones get thinner, there's one spot that keeps sticking out: the camera lens. Taking good pictures and being able to focus at multiple distances requires a layer of glass that's a certain ...

The camera is compact and inexpensive to construct because it consists of only a diffuser – essentially a bumpy piece of plastic – placed on top of an image sensor. Although the hardware is simple, ...
