RE: Wide-angled gigapixel satellite surveillance

A group of researchers at Sony and the University of Alabama in Huntsville have come up with a wide-angle camera that can image a 10-kilometer-square area from an altitude of 7.5 kilometers with a resolution better than 50 centimeters per pixel.

The trick is to build an array of light sensitive chips - each one recording small parts of a larger image - and place them at the focal plane of a large multiple-lens system. The camera would have gigapixel resolution, and able to record images at a rate of 4 frames per second.

The team suggests that such a camera mounted on an aircraft could provide images of a large city by itself. This would even allow individual vehicles to be monitored without any danger of losing them as they move from one ground level CCTV system to another.

Coming to a predator drone near you!

This is definitely technology for more 'big brother' surveillance. Just what I wanted to hear.
