Title: Modulo Camera -- Unbounded High Dynamic Range
Post by: Isaac on August 13, 2015, 02:49:58 pm

Conventional camera sensors will get “full," or saturated, after receiving an excess amount of light. This is because conventional camera sensors have a limited “well capacity,” or a limited amount of light the sensors can take in before they overflow. The modulo camera solves the saturation problem by resetting the sensor capacitors whenever the "well" gets full, and uses an inverse modulo algorithm to calculate how much light the reset sensors took in.

… The modulo camera can potentially transform the way everyday photography works (http://web.media.mit.edu/~hangzhao/modulo.html).

Cool stuff, I'm trying to read the technical paper.
