Transition of optical regime in miniaturized optical systems: light interactions beyond the refraction limit

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We investigate the transition of optical regimes of miniaturized optical systems using two canonical examples, where the refraction of light limits the system performance. A ball-lens and a solid immersion lens (SIL) are considered, whose refractive respon ...

Noise Reduction Techniques and Scaling Effects towards Photon Counting CMOS Image Sensors

Christian Enz, Assim Boukhayma

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 ...

Joint Acquisition of Color and Near-Infrared Images on a Single Sensor

Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani

In the past few years, fusing NIR and color images has been explored in general computational photography and computer vision tasks, where traditionally only color images are used. The additional information provided by the differences of light and scene r ...

Exploring information retrieval using image sparse representations

William Guicquéro

New advances in the field of image sensors (especially in CMOS technology) tend to question the conventional methods used to acquire the image. Compressive Sensing (CS) plays a major role in this, especially to unclog the Analog to Digital Converters which ...
