  2. image sensors my favorite (but now old) CCD …

  3. image sensors 3

  4. image sensors Kodak KAF-400 CCD specs must mean for 1/20 second exposure time 4

  5. image sensors pixel size, signal, & signal-to-noise charge accumulates at a rate proportion to light intensity per unit area of pixel capacitance is proportional to pixel area so for a given light intensity, exposure time, and cell depth, the signal voltage (accumulated charge / cell capacitance)is independent of cell area but signal-to-noise improves with larger accumulated charge, hence with cell area 5

  6. image sensors additional reading in our AFS readings directory: • SENSORS02_05-image_sensors.pdf • apparently from somebody’s course • encompasses biological and electronic systems • I found it on the web • I don’t remember where & can’t find it again … • sensorsCaptureAttention.pdf • comprehensive article on CMOS image sensors 6

  7. image sensors other (not CCD) kinds of modern image sensors 7

  8. image sensors CID: charge injection device • CCDs are inherently serial readout: no way to address an individual pixel • could realize better dynamic range, electronic zooming, etc., if could address individual pixels • CID has been promising “around the corner” possibility for ~20 years 8

  9. image sensors CMOS image sensors • uses sametechnology asstandard memorychips • economical:uses highly-tunedhigh-volumeproduction • allows highdegree ofintegrationbetween imagingand imageprocessing 9

  10. image sensors Foveon: color-film in silicon (with lots of material processing compromises to achieve correct filtering and decent transmission) 10

  11. image sensors special purposehybrid devicese.g., “night vision”,“image intensifiers”etc 11

  12. image sensors X-ray image intensifier similar hybrid methods used in “night vision scopes” (Russian  cheap) 12
