Cameras on a chip coming. Electronic Eyes Get Smaller by Chris Oakes 4:00am 16.Jul.98.PDT Lucent Technologies has signed up its first customer for a technology that could herald a market for remarkably compact and inexpensive video cameras. The cameras could capture images comparable in quality to today's camcorders, Lucent said. Vanguard International Semiconductor will use the technology to build chips that will, in turn, be sold to video equipment manufacturers. "You can expect small cameras and cheaper camera systems," said Bryan Ackland, head of the DSP and VLSI systems research department at Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent. That's because Lucent has found a way to integrate disparate video circuitry into a single chip, without losing image resolution. "You can also expect lower-power, lighter-weight systems," he said. His examples include a camera in a cell phone and a camera "you can just stick on the wall as part of a security system." wired.com
