Fig. 1: State-of-the-art in the acquisition of multidimensional optical information flow.

Next to each technology, we indicate the number of megapixels times the number of spectral bands @ frames per second (FPS), as the producer specifies in the technology datasheet of the hardware used. The dashed line indicates a state-of-the-art DDR5 memory’s ideal bandwidth, which provides the upper theoretical limit of any electronic technology requiring data transfer. Source data are provided as this figure data.
