Digital Photo History
What is the history of digital photography? Who started it? When and how? Does
someone have a patent? I haven't taken my best picture yet. |

This article is not strictly correct: analog electronic image recording is
not the same as what we would recognize as digital imaging. The advance in recording technique that allowed information dense video images to be recorded in the 1950s was the development of the helical (rotating) recording head, the process still in use for analog and digital tape recording. These were and are analog recordings no different in principle than analog audio tape like the audio cassette. Bing Crosby was a significant factor for the development of audio tape recording as well as video. He was the first radio star to use electronic recording and insist that his network produce all his shows on tape in the late 1940s. This proved to be far more economical than live broadcasting and allowed for reliable repeat broadcasts, residuals, etc. Digital imaging as we know it originated with government research for civilian and military space imaging purposes. Who else had the computing power in those ancient days of the 1960s and 1970s? The public's first contact with digital imaging in a form we would now recognize I believe came when images from the Viking landers on Mars (it might have been a different probe as my poor memory is imperfect) were sent back in the mid 1970s and broadcasters showed both the raw and, after a significant delay, the processed images. Most network news shows had features explaining how this new type of imaging worked. Probably the lowliest consumer digital camera available today has more processing power than could be applied to those early images. |
