Researchers invents a way to phase out chromatic aberrations aka halo effect from images

Nov 23, 2018

While using mobile device cameras, we have seen images with a halo effect. It can be seen on the images taken from any camera, and we can’t attach it to just smartphones. The halo effect is also present on SLRs, telescopes and other imaging devices. The halo effect is generated when a dark light spot is inclined toward the camera lens, and in response, it produces a ring-like effect around the light object. It happens when different wavelengths of light focus on the same point.

In other words, we can call this effect as a chromatic aberration, resulting in the purple halo effect. Well, the researchers at the Harvard have found a solution and has given a new “metacorrector” to rectify this issue.

The new processes comprise of a single layer surface of nanopillars, spaced less than a wavelength. It can be used to handle the phase, amplitude, and polarisation of the light. It is an effective way to minimize or fully eliminate the halo effect from images. It is quite cheaper and simpler method to correct chromatic aberrations.

It will help to years old correction technique to replace with new nanostructure engineering. It will help the images to be more refined and more precise without any purple halo effect. Although, it is a simple, efficient and cheaper method.

“You can imagine light as different packets being delivered at different speeds as it propagates in the nanopillars. We have designed the nanopillars so that all these packets arrive at the focal spot at the same time and with the same temporal width,” said Wei Ting Chen, a Research Associate in Applied Physics at SEAS and first author of the paper.

Now, conventional lenses limitations won’t affect the performance, and we can go beyond boundaries. We hope in the upcoming few years, and we will see it incorporated into the new imaging systems or products. Now, the team is further refining this new tech, so that it can be used for miniature optical devices also.

Nov 23, 2018

In a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, it is believed that the Cupertino giant is going to cut down the price of the new iPhone XR in some markets. Notably, in Japan, Apple will be giving subsidies for local carriers to make some more sales. Apple has not cited any reason behind offering these kinds of discounts. Well, this is not a new thing for Apple, they have done similar kind of promotional activities in the past for some other countries.

We are not clear, whether these promotional activities are just limited to Japan or will come to some other regions also. Usually, it is quite rare that Apple provides subsidies to carriers for promoting their devices, but it is good to see some more efforts from the Cupertino giant in supporting their devices.

As per recent reports from the supply chain, it is taken alongside that Apple is cutting the production of the recently launched iPhone models. Low sales in the global market are to be blamed behind the recent decision. In the past couple of years, global smartphone shipments have been declined after years of tremendous growth.

Apple is not alone affecting its sales due to global slow down, Samsung and many other significant OEMs are in the same line. Now, these companies are looking to cut down the losses by implementing precautionary measures. Some are promoting their potential devices, and some are cutting down on the production to tackle the decline in global sales. Similarly, Apple is strengthening its position by opting for promotional activities in Japan.

The Cupertino giant is now focusing on devices which are still in demand, like iPhone X. They have gain initialized the production of this one-year-old device to meet the demand in some countries. As of now, it is unclear where the handset will go sale, but it is another measure to get some sales and lower loss margin.

Nov 23, 2018

Moto Z4, Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus are the three major Motorola phones that will go official in the coming year. A leakster who is known for revealing information on upcoming Motorola phones has shared some key information on the chipset that will be powering the above phones. Moreover, he has also shared key details on the storage and RAM options of those phones.

The new leak reveals that the Moto G7 phone will be fueled by Snapdragon 660. It will be equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of inbuilt storage. The Moto G7 Plus is tipped to powered by Snapdragon 700 series chipset. Since Snapdragon 700 series from Qualcomm only includes the Snapdragon 710 chipset so far. Hence, the G7 Plus could be fueled by the SD710 SoC. The G7 Plus may arrive with 64 GB of internal storage and may arrive in the market in 6 GB and 4 GB RAM options.

The Moto Z3 was expected to debut with Snapdragon 845 chipset, but it was a bit of a disappointment for the company to use Snapdragon 835 on it.

Previous reports have revealed that the Moto G7 and G7 Plus will be both equipped with waterdrop notch screens.
