Range image acquisition can be made in many different ways. In this paper the range data are acquired by using a sheet-of-light to illuminate the scene 121, [31. Our image sensor design incorporates the concept of Near-Sensor Image Processing (NSIP) where the individual sensor operation is an integrated part of the signal processing algorithm [I]. This architecture can provide range images with...

A new CMOS-based image sensor that is intrinsically compatible with onchip CMOS circuitry is reported. The new CMOS active pixel image sensor achieves low noise, high sensitivity, X-Y addressability, and has simple timing requirements. The image sensor was fabricated using a 2 pm p-well CMOS process, and consists of a 128 x 128 array of 40 pm x 40 pm pixels. The CMOS image sensor technology ena...

Survival and development of wildlife sustains the balance and stability of the entire ecosystem. Wildlife monitoring can provide lots of information such as wildlife species, quantity, habits, quality of life and habitat conditions, to help researchers grasp the status and dynamics of wildlife resources, and to provide basis for the effective protection, sustainable use, and scientific manageme...

the purposes of human/machine perception, and for further Abstract: Image processing techniques primarily focus image-processing tasks such as segmentation, object upon enhancing the quality of an image or a set of detection or target recognition in applications such as images and to derive the maximum information from remote sensing and medical imaging. For example, visiblethem. Image Fusion i...
