A camera has been developed that can capture 156.3 trillion images per second: introducing “SCARF”

A group of scientists working at the Canadian National Research Institute, professional cameras They have done a devastating job. Experts have produced a special camera that can operate at a coding rate of 156.3 terahertz (THz). So this camera, per second 156.3 trillion Ability to capture images. The camera named “SCARF” is not for the end user, for scientific research had been designed.

You are more or less familiar with cameras with slow motion functions. These devices, per second hundreds of frames photos. This way maximum detail in an image is achieved. Doing scientific work with slow-motion cameras on the market It is not possible. For example, absorbing a semiconductor or removing the conductivity of a metal alloy. ultra-fast responses, could not be viewed with such cameras. SCARF has eliminated this situation.

So how does it work?

When developing SCARF, scientists used off-the-shelf optical components and a special algorithm they used. In its simplest form, this camera uses a computational imaging method. Coding speeds of up to 156.3 THz are offered to all pixels. This is the image ultra fast This allows it to be scanned somehow. The trillions of images obtained are processed with a special algorithm and converted into one image. Moreover, SCARF is faster than existing slow motion techniques. lower cost It provides both more efficient and better quality results.

Scientists with SCARF that they can make brand new discoveries they believe. Because this camera makes it possible to view and study micro events. In this case, groundbreaking scientific developments can be achieved with SCARF. However, it is not yet clear when this device will be put into serial use. Canadian scientists, with two companies They made an agreement.
