Anyone who has used a 'smart lens' app on their smartphone is familiar with machine vision. Rather than simply reproducing and storing a picture for later viewing, machine vision applies an image ...

Many industry sources suggest that there may be a fundamental shift approaching for digital image sensors. Technology advances may soon allow the image quality available from CMOS image sensors to ...

SIONYX makes CMOS digital image sensors that are exceptionally good for night vision cameras. Shown is a side-by-side comparison of night scenes. On the left is what one would see with normal eyesight ...

The new sensor is more light-sensitive, reproduces colours more accurately and offers significantly higher resolution than conventional silicon sensors. (Nanowerk News) Image sensors are built into ...

Vision systems are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, driven by big improvements in image sensors as well as new types of sensors. While the sensor itself often is developed using mature-node silicon, ...

NEC has developed an uncooled IR image sensor that incorporates high-purity semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the IR detection area. The company claims the new sensor achieves more than three ...

CCD (Charge-coupled Devices) are a technology used in optical microscopy to record images of organic and inorganic structures in fine detail. This article will discuss these devices and why they are ...

One size doesn’t fit all: Debunking why image sensors can’t be selected based on a few physical parameters. Misconceptions surrounding pixel size, resolution, read noise, SNR, and more. Why industry ...
