The high computational costs of deep convolutional neural networks hinder their deployment in real-world applications, including pulmonary nodule detection from CT scans where large 3D image sizes amplify the issue. This paper presents a novel 3D method to ...
Nowadays, efficient and remote health monitoring is becoming increasingly important, given both the ageing of population and the combined action of an increase in obesity level and cardiovascular diseases. The healthcare industry is becoming more reliant o ...
In this article, the impact of the combination of the column-level gain and the correlated multiple sampling (CMS) on the noise of CMOS image sensor (CIS) readout chains is first analyzed. The theory is then validated experimentally with CIS readout chains ...

The present invention relates to a pixel sensor cell (1) for a CMOS sensor device comprising: - a photodiode (11) for generating photoelectrons; - a first transfer transistor (12) coupling the photodiode (11) with an intermediate node (IN) and configured t ...
CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) overtook the charge coupled devices (CCDs) in low noise performance. Photoelectron counting capability is the next step for CIS for ultimate low light performance and new imaging paradigms. This work presents a review of CMOS image ...
This letter introduces a 5-transistors (5T) implementation of CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) pixels enabling the combination of deep sub-electronnoise performance with wide dynamic range (DR). The 5T pixel presents a new technique to reduce the sense node capaci ...
In this paper, we propose a physics-based compact model of the pinned photodiode (PPD) combined with the transfer gate. A set of analytical expressions is derived for the 2-D electrostatic profile, the PPD capacitance, and the charge transfer current. The ...

A sub-0.5e−rms temporal read noise VGA (640H×480V) CMOS image sensor has been integrated in a standard 0.18μm 4PM CMOS process. The low noise performance is achieved exclusively through circuit optimization without any process refinements. The presented im ...
This paper presents an overview of the read noise in CMOS image sensors (CISs) based on four-transistors (4T) pixels, column-level amplification and correlated multiple sampling. Starting from the input-referred noise analytical formula, process level opti ...
