Capturing the trajectory of a bullet on camera was always seen as an astonishing act. But things have changed, considering that we now have a camera that can capture pulses of photon light.

The world of technology is always leaping ahead in huge steps and leaves us dumbfounded now with this new camera technique that can snap 100 billion frames per second. Yes, and we are still bragging of the 60 FPS slow-mo video capture in our smartphones.

Researchers at Washington University are behind this ultra-speed camera that can capture 2D images at mind-boggling speeds. And what aids them in this process is the technique they termed as compressed ultrafast photography.

Images are captured with the help of a streak camera, which is packed with microscopes, telescopes, and special lenses. Specially designed computer algorithms turn the images captured by this receive-only camera into raw data.

Process of computational imaging then converts these raw data into 2D images with the means of computers.

It needn’t be said that this new 2D camera is indeed the fastest photo-snapping device that which the human race might have come across, as of now. It even puts to shame the previous speedy cameras which performed at speeds of ten million frames per second.

This in turn means the new fastest image snapping technique is around ten thousand times faster than that of the previous one.

The new technique is giving high hopes to researchers to bring in novel developments in the science fields. Astronomy is one such field which they hope to bring the drastic change with the CUP technology, alongside other areas like biomedicine, forensics, etc
