[디지털투데이 AI리포터] A high-speed scientific camera that captures images at an encoding rate of 156.3 terahertz (THz) per single pixel is said to have been developed.

According to IT media Engadget, on the 26th (local time), Professor Jinyang Liang and his research team at Canada’s National Research Institute of Science (INRS) published their research on the development of an ultra-high-speed SCARF camera in Nature .

SCARF has succeeded in capturing ultrafast phenomena such as the absorption of semiconductors and the magnetization of fast alloys. This way it is estimated that it will be able to capture things that cannot be captured even by modern scientific sensors, such as shock wave dynamics or drug development.

The research team observed moving objects by taking photos one frame at a time and combining them. However, this method had limitations as it could not identify shock waves, biological cell interactions, and optical chaos.

SCARF solves this problem by sweeping statically encoded Apache at ultrafast speeds without clipping the ultrafast phenomena. The idea is to use a charge-coupled device (CCD) to enable encoding speeds of up to 156.3 trillion times per second for individual pixels.

This means that the camera uses a computational imaging method to capture spatial information based on the different times of light entering the sensor. Rapid shooting is possible because there is no need to process instantaneous spatial data.
