Bits from Photons

Feng Yang

The trends in the design of image sensors are to build sensors with low noise, high sensitivity, high dynamic range, and small pixel size. How can we benefit from pixels with small size and high sensitivity? In this dissertation, we study a new image senso ...

Bits from Photons: Oversampled Image Acquisition Using Binary Poisson Statistics

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Yue Lu, Feng Yang

We study a new image sensor that is reminiscent of traditional photographic film. Each pixel in the sensor has a binary response, giving only a one-bit quantized measurement of the local light intensity. To analyze its performance, we formulate the oversam ...

A 14b extended counting ADC implemented in a 24Mpixel APS-C CMOS image sensor

Kyojin Choo

The demand for high-quality and high-speed imaging has increased. Column-parallel ≥14b A/D conversion is one of the major approaches to meet these requirements in CMOS image sensors (CIS). Oversampling ADCs such as incremental delta-sigma (I-ΔΣ) ADCs are t ...

SOI digital pixel sensor based on charge pumping

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, Louis Harik

In this paper, a digital pixel sensor in silicon on insulator (SOI) is presented. The active part is a partially depleted SOI phototransistor. The technique elaborated in Harik et al. (2008) [1] was designed and implemented. Moreover, we took advantage of ...

2PFC™ Image Sensors: Better Image Quality at Lower Cost

Daniel Tamburrino

A modification to the standard Bayer CFA and photodiode structure for CMOS image sensors is proposed, which we call 2PFC™, meaning “Two Pixel, Full Color”. The blue and red filters of the Bayer pattern are replaced by magenta filters. Under each magenta fi ...

Performance and Transient Behavior of Vertically Integrated Thin-film Silicon Sensors

Christophe Ballif

Vertical integration of amorphous hydrogenated silicon diodes on CMOS readout chips offers several advantages compared to standard CMOS imagers in terms of sensitivity, dynamic range and dark current while at the same time introducing some undesired transi ...

New support vector algorithms for multicategorical data applied to real-time object recognition

Silvio Borer

Humans have the ability to learn. Having seen an object we can recognise it later. We can do this because our nervous system uses an efficient and robust visual processing and capabilities to learn from sensory input. On the other hand, designing algorithm ...

An 8-bit low-power ADC array for CMOS image sensors

Steve Tanner, Michael Ansorge, Alexander Heubi

The paper presents an original analog-to-digital converter (ADC) array meeting the constraining requirements in resolution, speed, size, and low power consumption of high-performance low-cost video cameras. The converter array is based on ADC cells relying ...
