Canon’s new SPAD sensors work by amplifying a single photon that enters the sensor’s pixels into large amounts of electrical energy pulses. This allows the camera to see objects in areas with small amounts of light.   Nicky Boogaard via Wikicommons under CC BY 2.0 Canon, the Japanese optical products company, is set to release a highly advanced image sensor that captures high-quality color images in near-complete darkness. Debuting in 2022, the sensor may revolutionize the digital imagining industry and pave the way for more advanced security system cameras, cameras for autonomous driving, and augmented reality, Nikkei Asia reports. Most digital cameras traditionally use a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image…
