Canon Spad Sensors

Under equivalent light conditions, the SPAD sensor can capture the same images as a conventional CMOS sensor while requiring only 1/10 of imaging area. This realizes an ultra-small design that can be installed even in small devices and can greatly increase sensitivity. Both static images and video images can be performed in low-light environments, including dark night conditions. By equipping cameras designed for low-light environments and other monitoring applications to this SPAD sensor, even video footage of low-light environments can be viewed as if it were recorded in bright areas, enabling identification of subject movement as though viewing with the naked eye in well-lit environments.
