Transcript of Zoom & Enhance: A State of the Art
ZOOM & ENHANCEA state of the art
INTRODUCTION TO ZOOM & ENHANCE
• Our scientists have been working on the latest iteration in zoom and enhance technology for 14 years
• We have invested €700 million in making this technology market-ready
• Thank you to the Eppelheim and Düsseldorf teams for making this a reality
WHAT IS ZOOM & ENHANCE?
• Zoom & enhance allows us to make photos larger without reducing fidelity or quality
• Zoom: make a section of a photo larger
• Enhance: eliminate noise and maintain fidelity
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS• Law enforcement
• Military intelligence
• GIS mapping
• Home security
• Consumer photography
• Media & filmmaking
• Smartphone / consumer electronics
• Really tiny cameras
• Telescopes
• Bird watching
• Big cameras
LIVE DEMONSTRA
TIONHere's a normal picture of a man taken at a distance of
approx. one meter.
ZOOM LEVEL 1Current level of consumer class zoom & enhance
technology.
ZOOM LEVEL 2Added light enhancement here. Current level of
enterprise-class zoom& enhance technology.
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL 3
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL4
• Highest public implementation of zoom and enhance technology to date.
• Debuted at AZEA Annual Conference 2013
• Best in class fidelity and largeness
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL 5
• 10x zoom maintaining 100% fidelity
• All enhancement, zooming done real-time, no preprocessing
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL 6
• Notice the sharp lines, imperceptible degradation
• 98% fidelity at 20x zoom
• First time in public
– William Kodak, 1977
“Man will never surpass or have the necessity for levels above zoom & enhance level 3.”
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL 7
• We surpassed it.
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL 8
• We surpassed it.
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL 9
ZOOM & ENHANCE LEVEL 9• Developed with in partnership with the quantum
computing department at MIT
• Uses Active Light Technology to alter manner in which photons move to maintain fidelity
• Over 100 patents
• 100x zoom with less than 3% fidelity loss
AVAILABLE Q1, 2015
