Usefulness of CCD camera in Photography using Telescope

CCD Requirements for Digital Photography

Digital photography has the potential to supersede conventional film photography. In order to realize this potential, digital photography needs to provide the best image quality and highest utility. We have used our modeling of photographic systems and our experimental measurements of CCDs in order to estimate the photographic potential of specific CCDs. We have also extrapolated the future req...

Intelligent Surveillance Using an Omnidirectional CCD Camera

Video surveillance, object tracking and activity monitoring are some of the important issues for a homecare robotic system. In this work, an omnidirectional video camera is adopted to provide a 360 degree view angle of the indoor scene in a single image. Some basic functions for smart living and elderly care, such as motion detection, object tracking and target behavior analysis, are implemente...

Kinetic PCR Analysis Using a CCD-camera

3D Previsualization Using a Computational Photography Camera

During movie production, movie directors use previsualization tools to convey the movie visuals as they see them in their minds eye. Traditional methods of previsualization include hand-drawn sketches, storyboards and still photographs. Recently, video game engines have been used for previsualization so that once the movie set is modeled, scene lighting, geometry, textures and various scene ele...

CCD Camera Gain Measurement

The gain of a CCD camera is the conversion between the number of electrons ("e-") recorded by the CCD and the number of digital units ("counts") contained in the CCD image. It is useful to know this conversion for evaluating the performance of the CCD camera. Since quantities in the CCD image can only be measured in units of counts, knowing the gain permits the calculation of quantities such as...
