Mitsubishi Eliminates Motion Blur Problems With 'Flutter Shutter'

Posted Aug 31, 2006 at 04:07AM by Mabie A. Listed in: News Tags: Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi breaks the glass ceiling with its new deblurring technology, "flutter shutter". Taking image developing to greater heights, this technology deals head on with motion blur problems. The "flutter shutter" is actually an attachment on the actual camera, which uses a coded exposure sequence to cut a normal exposure into short burst. The processing software is then able to sharpen any fast moving objects in the picture. Ramesh Raskar, Senior research scientist, described the method as something akin to a UV filter or a polarizing filter.

Though the prototype is based on an 8 megapixel Canon PowerShot Pro1, the method can be applied to any camera, and could even be developed to work as a built-in feature on a consumer camera later on. For now, the "flutter shutter" technology is most apt for security cameras, as it can help decipher blurry license plates.
