A 1-inch optical format, 80fps, 10.8M-pixel CMOS image sensor for both high-end video and still camera applications will be presented in this paper. The 80fps readout speed was chosen because of a minimum requirement for a strobe sync speed of 1/60s for mechanical shutter-less still camera use and also for reducing rolling shutter distortion on moving objects. In order to satisfy this frame rat...

The neural control system of a high speed monocular camera head for the tracking of real-world targets is presented in this paper. The tracking system consists of four subsystems: monocular camera head, adaptive image processing system for estimation of the momentary position of object, neural network predictor and PID-controller, controlling motors of the camera head. The designed neural netwo...

A high-speed camera that combines a customized rotating mirror camera frame with charge coupled device ~CCD! image detectors and is practically fully operated by computer control was constructed. High sensitivity CCDs are used so that image intensifiers, which would degrade image quality, are not necessary. Customized electronics and instruments were used to improve the flexibility and control ...
