TL; DR
- Samsung shot a 200 MP image with its next sensor.
- He then printed the image on a 616-square-foot canvas.
We’ve known about Samsung’s 200 MP sensor for a long time, but so far it hasn’t appeared on a smartphone. While rumors say that a Motorola phone will soon arrive in the oven with the highest resolution camera in the world, Samsung has now given us a first look at the image results of the sensor.
The company’s sensor solutions team did their best with the 200MP sensor, which they say is still under development. He shot an image with the camera module and printed a huge photograph 28 meters wide and 22 meters high. That’s about one and a half times the size of a basketball court!
“I’ve always wondered how far you can go when it comes to printing a 200 MP image,” said Minhyuk Lee, an engineer on Samsung’s LSI Business System team.
So how did they do it? For starters, Samsung didn’t bake the 200MP sensor on a smartphone. The team chose a cat as the subject and connected the camera module to a test board.
“The photographer first checked the screen and adjusted the composition. The engineers then modified the settings to optimize exposure and focus. After observing the cat’s movements, the film crew used different methods to take a series of photos, “Samsung said, describing the process.
The team then printed the 616-square-foot image on twelve 2.3-meter-long separate pieces of fabric and then sewed it together. You can see the resulting image in the video embedded above.
“The ultimate benefit of the 200 MP image sensor is that it allows users to capture an image that can be enlarged and cropped without compromising image quality,” said Kaeul Lee and Minhyuk Lee of the Sensor Solutions team. Samsung. “The 200 MP image sensor will soon become the optimal solution for 8K video recording,” they concluded in the press release.
When it comes to phones, Samsung’s 200MP HP1 sensor will use a new ChameleonCell pixel collection technology, which allows the sensor to group four or 16 pixels into a single larger pixel. These configurations effectively turn the sensor into a 50 MP sensor with 1.28 micron pixels or a 12.5 MP sensor with 2.56 micron pixels.
