Gigapixel Imaging and the AWARE Camera

Gigapixel imaging represents a fundamental shift in photography. For the first time in history, systems such as the AWARE class cameras being developed by the Duke Imaging and Spectroscopy Program (DISP) are able to capture significantly more pixels than a human can reasonably consume. This talk will provide an overview of the AWARE class of cameras currently being developed and discuss how this is transforming the challenge of photography from scene selection and image capture to data management.
