Do you happen to know Pelican Imaging?
Pelican Imaging WAS a company based in Mountain view, California.
The company had been researching “array camera” since 2006.
Their solution consists of an array of small individual cameras.
One of the most important advantages of this method is that this module can be extremely thin.
But, they did not sell their camera.
In the end Tessera has acquired only the tech assets and patents on 2016.
