Pixels represent individual points of data in an image, so the more pixels in a single image, the more details can be resolved within that image. The average retail camera currently captures only about 8 to 10 megapixels. aawhite@soe.ucsd.edu (Auntwanette White) http://www.latimes.com/news/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-gigapixel-camera-may-revolutionize-photography-surveillance-20120620,0,2131750.story UC San Diego IDEA Student Center: Get Involved Get Involved Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:16:46 PDT http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jun/21/ucsd-lens-could-see-everyone-stadium/?sciquest UC San Diego has helped create the lens for a large experimental camera that researcher Joseph Ford says could "take a snapshot of a football stadium that's clear enough to let you recognize every single person in the stadium." aawhite@soe.ucsd.edu (Auntwanette White) http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jun/21/ucsd-lens-could-see-everyone-stadium/?sciquest UC San Diego IDEA Student Center: Get Involved Get Involved Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:15:41 PDT http://www.fox5sandiego.com/news/kswb-it-can-see-everyone-and-everything-theyre-doing-20120622,0,7557304.story University of California San Diego researchers are collaborating, developing the Aware 2 camera system?s front lens.
