CMOS image sensor for spatiotemporal image acquisition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a 6464-pixel CMOS image sensor chip that can acquire a 16-gray-level image containing both spatial and temporal information of the moving luminous object under observation. The image can next be processed using any image processing software in order to determine the speed, trajectory, and direction of motion of the moving object. The architecture of the sensor and an example of its application to the determination of the speed of a moving laser spot are described. © 2006 SPIE and IS&T. DOI: 10.1117/1.2191767

New Method for Analysis of image sensor to produce and evaluate the image
In this paper, a new method for evaluating CMOS image sensors based on computer modeling and analysis is introduced. Image sensors are composed of different parts, each of which has a specific effect on image quality. Circuits of image sensors can be evaluated and analyzed using circuit simulators or theoretically, but these methods cannot help to produce the final image. In order to produce th...

متن کاملCost-effective image acquisition system for precise PC-based measurement
Image sensors based on the CMOS technology became commonly used sources of image information in PC-based vision systems. Image information is converted directly on the chip to a stream of synchronous digital data which can be transferred to a PC using the cost-effective interface introduced in this contribution. The CMOS image sensor together with the developed interface can be considered as a ...
