چکیده
Abstract This paper proposes 3D stacked module consisting of image sensor and digital logic dies connected through inductive coupling channels. Evaluation of a prototype module revealed radiation noise from the inductive coils to the image sensor is less than 0.4-LSB range along with ADC code, i.e., negligible. Aiming at high frame rate image sensor/processing module exploiting this attractive off-die interface, 1,000 fps motion vector (MV) estimation and classification engine for high-speed computational imaging in a 3D stacked module is assembled, and also tested. The module achieved a cognitive classification scheme employed on MV patterns, enabling the classification of moving objects not possible in conventional proposals.

متن کاملPhoton-number-resolving megapixel image sensor at room temperature without avalanche gain
In several emerging fields of study such as encryption in optical communications, determination of the number of photons in an optical pulse is of great importance. Typically, such photon-number-resolving sensors require operation at very low temperature (e.g., 4 K for superconducting-based detectors) and are limited to low pixel count (e.g., hundreds). In this paper, a CMOS-based photon-counti...
