cylonlover writes "A team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has developed a new image sensor from graphene that promises to improve the quality of images captured in low light conditions. In tests, it has proved to be 1,000 times more sensitive to light than existing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) or charge-coupled device (CCD) camera sensors in addition to operating at much lower voltages, consequently using 10 times less energy."

In this tutorial we show how to use two important methods of the BitmapData class,
perlinNoise and ColorMatrixFilter. By combining the two, we obtain a realistic
dynamic cloud effect. The color schemes of the sky and the clouds can easily be changed.
