Lecture
This lecture focuses on the analysis of energy consumption in a CCD camera, specifically an interline transfer CCD. The instructor begins by introducing the structure of the CCD, highlighting the sensitive surface, transmission gate, and readout registers. The energy required for operation is calculated using the formula involving capacitance and voltage. The discussion includes a detailed examination of a 1000x1000 pixel matrix, representing a one-megapixel camera, with specific capacitance values and a frame rate of 25 images per second. The instructor explains the energy consumption for capturing an image, including the sensitive surface and transfer gate. The consumption for vertical and output registers is also analyzed, emphasizing the differences in energy requirements based on the CCD's three-phase system. The total energy consumption for one image is calculated, leading to a discussion on power consumption at a rate of 25 frames per second. The lecture concludes with a comparison of CCD and CMOS camera consumption, setting the stage for future discussions.
