In order to reduce the amount of data produced by a high-speed video camera, Swiss researchers have come up with a new solution. Instead of recording every single image seperately, this new camera works much like the human eye and brain do: it registers only the changes that happen, just like the human retina does. This reduces the data that needs to be recorded significantly. (Btw., video compression algorithms work the same way, but the video needs to be recorded first before it can be compressed.) In addition to its retina-like imaging sensor, the camera also uses circuitry that mimicks the human brain–by replicating a neural network with silicon. Pretty exciting technology! After the break, you can find gif animation of what a recording from the camera looks like.
