Panoptes is a camera technology developed by Marc Christensen at CMU that combines images from many tiny low-resolution sensors to create a high-resolution picture. A central processor combines the smaller images into a single image. The system is capable of identifying areas of interest and concentrating the sub-imagers on important areas — e.g., when photogarphing a building in a field after a frame or two it can identify that certain areas, like the open field, have nothing of interest, whereas other areas have details that aren’t sufficiently resolved and can shift subimagers focusing on the field to other parts of the image. The system is also able to combine overlapping images to eliminate the noise that is common in low-resolution imagers, while still maintaining a frame rate of about 30 to 60 frames per second. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/07/darpas-smart-flat-camera-is-packed-with-beady-eyes/
