Compressive image acquisition in modern CMOS IC design

Compressive Imaging for Video Representation and Coding

Compressive Sensing is an emerging field based on the revelation that a small group of nonadaptive linear projections of a compressible signal contains enough information for reconstruction and processing. In this paper, we propose algorithms and hardware to support a new theory of Compressive Imaging. Our approach is based on a new digital image/video camera that directly acquires random proje...

A multi-aperture compressive time-of-flight CMOS imager for pixel-wise coarse histogram acquisition

Compressive Sensing Image Sensors-Hardware Implementation

The compressive sensing (CS) paradigm uses simultaneous sensing and compression to provide an efficient image acquisition technique. The main advantages of the CS method include high resolution imaging using low resolution sensor arrays and faster image acquisition. Since the imaging philosophy in CS imagers is different from conventional imaging systems, new physical structures have been devel...

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...
