New camera filter allows to capture three times more light

A researcher from the University of Utah has developed a new camera color filter that lets in three times more light than conventional filters, resulting in much cleaner, more accurate pictures taken in low light. Instead of just reading three colors (RGB), the new filter produces at least 25 new codes or colors that pass through the filter to reach the camera’s sensor, producing photos that are much more accurate and with nearly no digital grain. The first consumer cameras that use the filter are expected to show up in three years. More on the University of Utah’s website.
