Hey there, people, passioned about Photography!

Here is the latest journal of the "Photographic Society" community on HIVE.

This might be too techy for the most of us but must be mentioned as it is a huge step towards the rapid minimization of the size of the color cameras.

The race for miniature color cameras using flat meta-optics has rapidly developed the end-to-end design framework using neural networks. Although a large body of work has shown the potential of this methodology, the reported performance is still limited due to fundamental limitations coming from meta-optics, mismatch between simulated and resultant experimental point spread functions, and calibration errors. Here, we use a HIL optics design methodology to solve these limitations and demonstrate a miniature color camera via flat hybrid meta-optics (refractive + meta-mask). The resulting camera achieves high-quality full-color imaging for a 5-mm aperture optics with a focal length of 5 mm. We observed a superior quality of the images captured by the hybrid meta-optical camera compared to a compound multi-lens optics of a mirrorless commercial camera.

Why should you post in the Photographic Society?

Well, let's put that down in the shortest way possible. The other photo-related communities ask for your photos and stories along. Such posts are welcome here too but the focus of this virtual group is to discuss our thoughts about Photography itself. For instance, talk about equipment, ask for advice, give criticism, and share photo news, monetizing opportunities, concepts, found photographs, techniques, stock agencies, experience in the field, photo NFTs, etc. The list is long.

Did you get the idea? If yes, what are you waiting for? ;) Start posting today! :)

Our mission is to make this community on HIVE more popular and potentially attract Twitter users to join the platform, so please follow us on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/photosochive

We share manually selected posts on Twitter! But that's not all. On Twitter we search for other photographers and photo lovers over there, to appreciate and share, and admire their work. There are other plans too, for other initiatives. Both here and on Twitter. Researching other social networks is in progress as well.

Can we support each other, sharing the same passion? The future will show that!

This post is 100% Power Up.
