On April 21st, the 49th Geneva International Invention Exhibition came to a close. The project "Pulse Continuous Photography Principle and High-Speed Camera" jointly exhibited by Peking University and Pulse Vision (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. stood out from over a thousand inventions, receiving the special commendation gold award from the Geneva International Invention Exhibition jury.

It is known that photography was invented in 1839, and its shutter exposure imaging principle has been used ever since. Although digital cameras have gradually replaced film cameras, the imaging principle of cameras has not changed, and there has always been a defect of conflicting imaging speed and quality.

Professor Huang Tiejun's team from Peking University utilized the independent characteristics of photoelectric sensor pixels to invent a new principle of pulse continuous photography, solving the fundamental defect of speed and quality conflict, achieving ultra-high-speed, high dynamic range, and blur-free continuous imaging. The invention patents of this technology have successively obtained authorization in China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Europe, and have been identified by the Chinese Institute of Electronics as a "significant original innovation."

In 2021, based on the achievements of this technology, Pulse Vision Company was established, mainly engaged in visual technology research and chip development, currently holding more than 120 patent applications, with over half already authorized, including 8 international authorized inventions. 662f9580e4b03b5da6d0df9d.jpg The product is introduced by the relevant person.

The Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions is held annually, with awards divided into gold, silver, and bronze levels. The Special Commendation Gold Award is selected from the gold award winners of the competition, requiring unanimous approval by the jury, making it the highest level award of the invention exhibition.
