Frame Transfer CCDs for Digital Still Cameras: Concept, Design, and Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital still cameras are becoming a widely used alternative for conventional silver-halide cameras. This paper presents first the concept of frame-transfer CCD imagers designed for consumer digital cameras. Next, the different modes of operation are explained in detail and compared with alternative approaches. Finally, extensive evaluation results on four different imagers using this new concept are presented. It will be demonstrated that the flexible modes of operation, the high dynamic range, and excellent optical properties of FT-CCDs make them very suited for this type of electronic imaging.

Development of Digital Aerial Cameras
Digital aerial cameras have replaced analogue aerial cameras in several countries. The development for operational aerial photogrammetry started with the line scan camera ADS40, followed by Z/I Imaging DMC and Vexcel Imaging UltraCam. Recently the line scan camera Jena Optronik JAS-150 was introduced. The capacity of the UltraCam was enlarged by replacing the used CCDs with 9μm pixels over 7.2μ...

Beam monitors using cameras have evolved from qualitative beam observation to precision measurements. After a description of the two main TV standards, the various sensors: TV tubes (Vidicon), solid state sensors (Interline and Frame Transfer CCDs, CMOS and CID X-Y matrices), and Fast Shutter/Intensifiers of the MCP type are reviewed. Comparative resolution measurements for the various sensors ...

متن کاملMethods for identification of images acquired with Digital cameras
From the court we receive questions if it is possible to determine if an image has been made with a specific digital camera. This question has to be answered in child pornography cases, where evidence is needed that a certain picture has been made with a specific camera. We have looked into different methods of examining the cameras for determining if a specific image has been made with a camer...

Digital aerial cameras have replaced analog film cameras. An information contents corresponding to aerial photos up to 2010 was only possible with digital system cameras as Vexcel Ultracam and Z/I Imaging DMC or line scanning cameras as Leica Geosystems ADS80 or Jena Optronic JAS-150. Now with very large size CCDs the panchromatic band of the DMC II has between 140 and 256 Mega pixels from one ...
