[Tech] Scanner? No, telefono cellulare

La giapponese NEC, in collaborazione col Nara Institute of Science and Technology, ha sviluppato una tecnologia che permette di trasformare i telefoni cellulari dotati di videocamera in scanner:

NEC and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology have devloped technology which uses movie recordings to produce high quality images, on par with those of a scanner. This technology will be aimed at cellular phones and video cameras.



The technique involves recording a part of the subject to a movie, while moving the camera; the "Mosaicing Technology" analyzes the moving image and estimates the three-dimensional position of the subject, and under the supervision of the "Ultra Resolution Technology," the joining points of the image are deleted, thereby optimizing it so that even low resolution cameras can produce scanner like output. In other words, even cellular phones and video cameras can produce high quality images.

Secondo NEC sarebbe possibile ottenere delle scansioni ad alta risoluzione di documenti in formato A4 utilizzando le normali videocamere a bassa risoluzione attualmente già in commercio.
