The separation of the data capture and analysis in modern vision systems has led to a massive amount transfer between end devices cloud computers, resulting long latency, slow response, high power consumption. Efficient hardware architectures are under focused development enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) at resource-limited sensing devices. One most promising solutions is Processing-in-Pixel...

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 ...

An ionizing radiation-tolerant CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) image sensor test chip was designed employing the physical design techniques of enclosed geometry and -channel guard rings. The test chip was fabricated in a standard 0.35m CMOS process that has a gate-oxide thickness of 7.0 nm. It was irradiated by a -ray source up to a total ionizing radiation dose level of approximately 30 Mrd (Si...

We have been developing polarization-analyzing CMOS image sensor with monolithically embedded polarizer [1, 2]. Differing from preceding works [3-5], we implement on-chip polarizers configured with a metal wiring layer available in standard CMOS technology. In the last workshop, we have demonstrated the polarization-analyzing functionality with a CMOS image sensor fabricated with 0.35 μm standa...

We describe a new pushbroom hyperspectral imaging device that has no macro moving part. The main components of the proposed hyperspectral imager are a digital micromirror device (DMD), a CMOS image sensor with no filter as the spectral sensor, a CMOS color (RGB) image sensor as the auxiliary image sensor, and a diffraction grating. Using the image sensor pair, the device can simultaneously capt...
