Fractals & Pixels - what's in a name?

[Arnold Theron <ArnoldT@gensec.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>The posting by Kennedy McEwen, who is involved in the technology, is very
interesting - what especially made me take notice is the assertion that as
many as 100 pixels could be generated from a single physical sensor - and
that in 1976. Having developed both CCD and CMOS imaging sensors myself, I
seriously question the idea that anything more than one pixel is obtainable
from a corresponding physical sensor without some form of interpolation,
even if that interpolation is done at the device level. CCD's depend on
charge packets corresponding to the exposure, each of which need to be
matched by a physical gate line in order to be clocked out. CMOS sensors are
in effect individual light sensitive diodes integrated into a silicon
substrate. There may have been other developments since, but I would really
appreciate it if Kennedy could refer me to some published work on the topic.
