Sensor information capacity and spectral sensitivities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we numerically quantify the information capacity of a sensor, by examining the different factors than can limit this capacity, namely sensor spectral response, noise, and sensor blur (due to fill factor, cross talk and diffraction, for given aperture). In particular, we compare the effectiveness of raw color space for different kinds of sensors. We also define an intrinsic notion of color sensitivity that generalizes some of our previous works. We also attempt to discuss how metamerism can be represented for a sensor.

Optimum spectral sensitivity functions for single sensor color imaging
A cost-effective and convenient approach for color imaging is to use a single sensor and mount a color filter array (CFA) in front of it, such that at each spatial position the scene information in only one color channel is captured. To estimate the missing colors at each pixel, a demosaicing algorithm is applied to the CFA samples. Besides the filter arrangement and the demosaicing method, the...
متن کاملRank-based camera spectral sensitivity estimation.
In order to accurately predict a digital camera response to spectral stimuli, the spectral sensitivity functions of its sensor need to be known. These functions can be determined by direct measurement in the lab-a difficult and lengthy procedure-or through simple statistical inference. Statistical inference methods are based on the observation that when a camera responds linearly to spectral st...
متن کاملEfficient Spectral Imaging based on Imaging Systems with Scene Adaptation Using Tunable Color Pixels
Conventional spectral imaging systems use a set of predetermined filters to capture multi-band images. Liquid crystal tunable filters (LCTF) and active illumination allow reconfiguration of spectral sensitivities but these techniques have shortcomings such as latency due to multiple captures and the fact that the same filtering or illumination is applied to the whole frame of the image. There a...
متن کاملImage capture: synthesis of sensor responses from multispectral images
This paper describes the performance of an image capture simulator. The general model underlying the simulator assumes that a) the image capture device contains multiple classes of sensors with different spectral sensitivities and b) that each sensor responds linearly to light intensity over most of its operating range. We place no restrictions on the number of sensor classes, their spectral se...
متن کاملTarget Tracking with Unknown Maneuvers Using Adaptive Parameter Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract- Tracking a target which is sensed by a collection of randomly deployed, limited-capacity, and short-ranged sensors is a tricky problem and, yet applicable to the empirical world. In this paper, this challenge has been addressed a by introducing a nested algorithm to track a maneuvering target entering the sensor field. In the proposed nested algorithm, different modules are to fulfill...
