High-speed megapixel 3D camera developed at EPFL Switzerland

(Source: EPFL)   Ecole Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)scientists, working in association with Canon, have developed a camera that can take 3D images with record-breaking speed and resolution. MegaX is extremely fast and can take up to 24,000 images per second. It also has three other important advantages: a very large dynamic range can produce 3D representations and can perform in-depth segmentation of those representations—all at the same time. “Thanks to its high resolution and advanced detection capabilities,” says Edoardo Charbon, an EPFL professor and head of the Advanced Quantum Architecture Laboratory in EPFL’s School of Engineering, “MegaX could be used
