Who created the digital camera? |
who created the digital camera and can you also give me some more info about digital photography. thanks From wikipedia, take it for what it's worth to you, The concept of digitizing images on scanners, and the concept of digitizing video signals, predate the concept of making still pictures by digitizing signals from an array of discrete sensor elements. Eugene F. Lally of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory published the first description of how to produce still photos in a digital domain using a mosaic photosensor. The purpose was to provide onboard navigation information to astronauts during missions to planets. The mosaic array periodically recorded still photos of star and planet locations during transit and when approaching a planet provided additional stadiametric information for orbiting and landing guidance. The concept included camera design elements foreshadowing the first digital camera. Texas Instruments designed a filmless analog camera in 1972, but it is not known if it was ever built. The first recorded attempt at building a digital camera was by Steven Sasson, an engineer at Eastman Kodak. It used the then-new solid state CCD chips developed by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1973. The camera weighed 8 pounds (3.6 kg), recorded black and white images to a cassette tape, had a resolution of 0.01 megapixel (10,000 pixels), and took 23 seconds to capture its first image in December of 1975. The prototype camera was a technical exercise, not intended for production. www.picsent.com would probably tell you if you want to know www.picsent.com Kind of depends on what you would consider a digital camera. Some of the earlier forms of television cameras, developed in the 1930s were digital cameras. Radar systems, developed during WWII were, clearly, digital cameras, even though they didn't, strictly, take photographs. Of course, scanners are nothing more than digital camers laid on their backs, with an extremely short focal range. A little research on these subjects should yield you the names of the key engineering figures for these products. Designer, Illustrator and Desktop Publisher for over 30 years |
