  • Are You Ready for a Digital Camera? by Jennifer Ruisaard and Conrad Turner
    Are You Ready for a Digital Camera? by Jennifer Ruisaard and Conrad Turner Digital cameras flashed onto the technology scene a few years ago, threatening the future of conventional photography. Employing the same elements as traditional cameras, digital cameras convert images into a series of pixels that computers can understand and display directly on-screen. These digital images transmit easily through e-mail attachments and are instantly ready to use. The quality of digital images improved drastically over the last five years. In addition, digital cameras offer the benefits of speed, flexibility, and cost savings. Digital photographs are easy to retouch and manipulate through programs such as Photoshop. Furthermore, digital images do not need to be scanned. Therefore, defects introduced by the scanning process are eliminated. Types of Digital Cameras The digital photography market offers consumers three types of cameras: low-, mid-, and high-range. Buyers of digital cameras should choose a camera depending on their specific needs and the type of job to be done. Low-end digital cameras cost around $1,000 and are equivalent to conventional point-and- shoot cameras. Their low resolution, usually about 640 ´ 480 pixels, makes them a cost-effective tool for jobs that do not require high quality, sharpness, or color accuracy. This range of cameras can produce quality prints up to 2.4 ´ 1.8 inches at 133 lpi (266 ppi), which is sufficient for small brochures, advertisements, and catalog images. The next group of digital cameras, called mid-range, cost between $5,000 and $15,000. These cameras are essentially traditional Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera bodies.

The DCS was a product launched ahead of its potential market, but one which indelibly marked the start of the future of photography. Kodak was smart. It housed its DCS in something photographers were already at home with: a Nikon F3 camera body. All the F3’s functions were retained, and the DCS used standard Nikon lenses.

  • “Dark Chamber”
    The Word Camera Is From Latin “Camera Obscura” Which Means “Dark Chamber”. National Camera Day is observed each year on June 29th. This day commemorates photographs, the camera, and their invention. A camera is an irreplaceable tool used to record and replicate memories, events, and people/places. Before the invention of the camera, the only resource to document a vision was a painting. There are very few who can perfectly capture the image of a person or a place in a drawing. The power of a camera provided many with a simple, inexpensive and fast solution. George Eastman, also known as “The Father of Photography,” brought the camera to the masses. While he did not invent the camera, he did invent many additions that improved the use, ease, and production of the camera, making it widely available to homes around the world. The original camera was large and bulky but has now evolved into something that can be as small as a pen. Cameras have many features and variations, making them appealing to men and women of all ages for personal and professional use. Joseph Niépce was a French inventor; he is most noted as one of the inventors of photography and was a pioneer in the field. He developed the heliograph; a technique used to produce the world’s first known photograph in 1825, the view from the window at Le Gras the families estate. In 1839, Louis Jacques Daguerre took the first fixed image that didn’t fade. He is recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography.

  • Metric Capabilities of Low-Cost Digital Cameras for Close Range Surface Measurement
    Photogrammetric Record, 17(9#): 000–000 (April / October 200#) METRIC CAPABILITIES OF LOW-COST DIGITAL CAMERAS FOR CLOSE RANGE SURFACE MEASUREMENT By JIM H. CHANDLER ([email protected]), Loughborough University, UK JOHN G. FRYER ([email protected]), University of Newcastle, Australia and AMANDA JACK ([email protected]) Sir Robert M cAlpine Ltd, Hemel Hempstead, UK Abstract This paper examines the potential of low cost digital cameras for close-range surface measurement using feature based image matching methods. This is achieved through extracting digital elevation models (DEMs) and comparing accuracies between three low-cost consumer grade digital cameras (Sony DSC-P10, Olympus C3030, Nikon Coolpix 3100) and the proven Kodak DCS460. Surprisingly, the tests revealed that the highest accuracies were achieved using the Sony DSC-P10, not the Kodak DCS460, whilst the other two cameras certainly proved suitable for most close-range surface measurement tasks. Lens modelling was found to provide a limiting constraint on final accuracies, with very small systematic error surfaces caused by residual imperfections in lens modelling. The IMAGINE OrthoBASE Pro software and an independent self-calibrating bundle adjustment were used to process these data. These tests identified an inaccuracy in the self-calibrating capability of IMAGINE OrthoBASE Pro version 8.6 and Leica Geosystems LPS 8.7, which will be rectified in subsequent software releases. The study has demonstrated that cheaper consumer grade digital cameras have potential for routine surface measurement provided lens modelling is considered. The lead author is maintaining a web based repository for camera calibration data, which may assist other users.
