Single Pixels Cameras

Researchers from the Optics Group in the University’s School of Physics and Astronomy are developing experimental cameras that don’t sense light with millions of pixels, but instead just require one pixel. This technique allows for the development of very low-cost cameras sensitive to colours of light that normal cameras don’t see. These have potential applications in gas imaging, night vision and medical diagnostics.

This Science Showcase, in conjunction with the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies 2015, showcases both this cutting edge research in computational imaging and broader research within the University of Glasgow on light and light-based technologies, such as the use of lasers in gravitation research.
