Truesense Imaging影像公司

????這家公司主要開發(fā)生產(chǎn)高性能影像傳感器設(shè)備,，它們廣泛用于制造業(yè)質(zhì)檢,、數(shù)字放射顯影、地球影像衛(wèi)星、交通監(jiān)控和DNA測序系統(tǒng),。據(jù)該公司網(wǎng)站資料稱：“最終演變?yōu)門ruesense Imaging的業(yè)務(wù)最初始于20世紀七十年代伊士曼柯達公司的物理部門,，當(dāng)時該部門主要負責(zé)研究還處于萌芽期的固態(tài)成像技術(shù)……”2011年11月，私募基金公司Platinum Equity收購了該部門,，隨后成立了Truesense公司,。

????柯達在這一領(lǐng)域的成果對數(shù)碼攝影的發(fā)展至關(guān)重要。1986年,，它研制出首個百萬像素的影像傳感器,，該產(chǎn)品隨后用于世界上第一款數(shù)碼單反相機——1991年推出的柯達DCS-100。不過,，世界上首款數(shù)碼相機原型是1975年由柯達科學(xué)家斯蒂夫?沙松研制的：它有烤箱那么大,，用模擬卡式磁帶拍攝1萬像素（.01 megapixel）的黑白照片。

Truesense Imaging

????Truesense Imaging develops and manufactures high-performance image sensor devices that are used in manufacturing inspection, digital radiography, earth imaging satellites, traffic monitoring, and DNA sequencing systems. According to the company's website, "the business that would eventually become Truesense Imaging began in the Physics Division of Eastman Kodak Company in the early 1970s, with research in the nascent area of solid state imaging...." Platinum Equity purchased the division from Kodak in November 2011 and subsequently launched Truesense.

????Kodak's work in this area was crucial to the development of digital photography. In 1986, it built the first megapixel image sensor, which was then used in the world's first digital SLR camera -- the Kodak DCS-100, released in 1991. Though, the first digital camera prototype was actually built by Kodak scientist Steve Sasson in 1975: it was the size of a toaster and captured black and white .01 megapixel images to an analog cassette tape.
