Curve-One, the curved sensor with a controlled
curvature

A revolution in the digital photography industry

Emmanuel Hugot
Innovation CNRS / Astrophysics Laboratory,
Marseille

Interview of Emmanuel Hugot :
At the moment, flat sensors are used, they
suffer from distortion and a loss of sharpness
at the corners, and speckling in low light. After
7 years of research and development and a
series of patents we can now eliminate these
faults in optical systems.

More economic to use, apparatus using these sensors
require fewer components and display a stunning
performance.

Interview of Emmanuel Hugot :
Because of our flat sensor we can reduce wide
angle distortion, eliminate vignetting, improve the
chromatism and sharpness up to 5 times around
the edges

Sébastien Hugot
Founder of Curve One en 2018

Interview of Sébastien Hugot :
It's a new era in the image world , from digital
cameras to nano satelites, via quality control
sensors.
First of all we aim at specific areas such as
profesional drones, scientific and military
instruments and medical bio-imagery

Summary

Curve One specialises in the production of curved sensors for the drone, autonomous vehicle, and photography and video camera markets, as well as for astronomy and scientific instrumentation. Its sensors improve clarity, reduce distortion, and eliminate vignetting (the dark corners present on certain photos). Based on the expertise of the Laboratoire d'astrophysique de Marseille (CNRS/Cnes/Aix-Marseille Université), #CurveOne proposes a comprehensive solution for boosting images, and will be on display at VivaTech.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
