CMOS Image Sensors with Video Compression

Cmos Image Sensors with Compressive Sensing Acquisition

The compressive sensing (CS) paradigm provides an efficient image acquisition technique through simultaneous sensing and compression. Since the imaging philosophy in CS imagers is different from conventional imaging systems, new physical structures are required to design cameras suitable for CS imaging. While this work is focused on the hardware implementation of CS encoding for CMOS sensors, t...

Topics on CMOS Image Sensors

Today there exist several applications where a real visible scene needs to be sampled to electrical signals, e.g., video cameras, digital still cameras, and machine vision systems. Since the 1970’s charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have primarily been used for this task, but during the last decade CMOS image sensors have become more and more popular. The demand for image sensors has lately gr...

Review of CMOS image sensors

The role of CMOS Image Sensors since their birth around the 1960s, has been changing a lot. Unlike the past, current CMOS Image Sensors are becoming competitive with regard to Charged Couple Device (CCD) technology. They offer many advantages with respect to CCD, such as lower power consumption, lower voltage operation, on-chip functionality and lower cost. Nevertheless, they are still too nois...

High Speed CMOS Image Sensors

This paper gives an overview of high speed CMOS image sensor types and markets in which these can be used. The sensors presented in this paper are sensors designed for use in a general purpose, high end or custom high speed cameras. Such cameras can be used for applications like scientific research, crash tests, high speed scanning, machine vision and military research; all requiring high frame...
