Eastman Kodak provides a breakthrough in Image Capture technique with the industry’s first 1.4 Micron, 5 Mega-pixel High-ISO CMOS Sensor. The new KODAK KAC-05020 Image Sensor integrates the innovative Color Filter Pattern technology with company’s new TRUESENSE CMOS pixel to achieve a new and improved level of performance. The sensor enables production of clear high-quality images at a new level of resolution using significantly smaller pixels where other small-pixel sensors fail.

“Camera phones and other small-pixel consumer imaging devices often suffer from poor performance, especially under low light conditions. To manufacture sensors that utilize these very small pixels – only two to three times the wavelength of visible light – we needed to challenge everything we knew about pixel and sensor design,” said Chris McNiffe, General Manager of Kodak’s Image Sensor Solutions business.

The KAC-05020 offers High ISO sensitivity of 3200 with support for 720p video at 30fps. It reaches its maximum resolution in popular ¼ inch optical format at 5 Mega-pixel of resolution. Through an alliance with the Texas Instruments’ OMAPTM and OMAP-DM solutions, Kodak enriches KAC-05020 with digital image stabilization, rapid auto-focus, red-eye reduction, and facial recognition functionality.

The company will display the KAC-05020 at the GSMA Mobile World Congress held Feb 11 – 14 in Barcelona, Spain.

Embedded imaging solutions provider, FotoNation, has announced the new ChromaFix technology which betters digital photos than they already are good. ChromaFix is FotoNation's one-step chromatic aberration correction technology. ChromaFix is the counterpart or aberration minimizing technologies present in high end digicams and camera phones. This means that it can fix irregularities in photos taken by more affordable digital picture devices.

If you take a look at the photos, you'll see that there are purple fringe at the bottom of the bar (magnified) -- this is an example of chromatic aberration. This stems from the fact that majority of lenses are designed to focus mainly on green wave lengths. Using ChromaFix, such problems would not exist.

A demonstration of ChromaFix would be seen on PMA 2008, the annual photo trade show and convention.
