NEW CAMERA

Kyocera multilayer sensor patent

Kyocera multilayer sensor patent surfaced over the web, pixels are shifted from center onwards to capture more light… take a look a the patent details below translated by google

• Patent Publication No. 2015-90972
  • Published 2015.5.11
  • Filing date 2013.11.7
• Renesas patents
  • RGB 3-layer sensor
  • Color filter
  • To shift towards the surrounding pixels in the center of the optical axis
  • Extent a peripheral, and enough is upper, the shift amount is large

Olympus multilayer sensor patent

Olympus filed a patent of two layer sensor, the layer combines color filter of RGBCMY, both layer will capture extensive amount of color and light, take a look at the patent

Explanation and self-interpretation of the patent literature

  • From the top, first layer color filter, the light receiving elements of the first layer, the second layer color filter of the second layer of the receiving element
  • The first layer uses a two or three color filter of MY GR BR C BG G
  • The second layer, use 1-2 kinds of color filters of the RG
  • Second layer was widely pixel pitch

A new patent surfaced over the web by egami, although I don’t know Japanese, but what I get from translated text is that to eliminate noise the camera will detect first detect the fixed pattern noise by garbing two images simultaneously (both shots will be captured at different exposure) and the camera will apply a new noise reduction algo to give a prefect output , translated text below and link of the website at the end…

Dark arithmetic
Imaging element white point change by exposure time and temperature (FPN: fixed pattern noise) to output
Usually by subtracting the amount of signal obtained by the light blocking taken to correct the white point (fixed pattern noise)

Olympus patents
After performing the normal shooting, shooting an image that has been Boca
When a fixed pattern noise candidates of the first image, fixed pattern noise candidates of the second image match, it is regarded as a fixed pattern noise for correcting the
Imaging element unnecessary blackout of
