To increase the depth of field in ultra-thin, mask-based lensless cameras, researchers from Osaka University developed and optimized a radial-coded mask that replaces conventionally coded masks and ...

Hitachi might not be known for its image-capture technology, but a new press release details the workings of a lensless camera technology the company is working on that’s capable of focusing the image ...

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 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, ...

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; ...

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 ...

A project at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has designed a lensless camera able to capture 3D information about objects in a scene with a single exposure. As described in Optics ...

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 ...
