Computational Imaging SPAD Cameras

Andrei Ardelean

Vision systems built around conventional image sensors have to read, encode and transmit large quantities of pixel information, a majority of which is redundant. As a result, new computational imaging sensor architectures were developed to preprocess the r ...

A Pixel Design of a Branching Ultra-Highspeed Image Sensor

Edoardo Charbon

A burst image sensor named Hanabi, meaning fireworks in Japanese, includes a branching CCD and multiple CMOS readout circuits. The sensor is backside-illuminated with a light/charge guide pipe to minimize the temporal resolution by suppressing the horizont ...

Full SPICE Simulation of a CMOS Active Pixel Sensor with Generalized Devices

Jean-Michel Sallese, Chiara Rossi

We present SPICE simulations of a CMOS APS pixel element consisting of the optical sensor and the circuit. The photodiode is simulated at the physics level by means of the so-called generalized devices, without any predefined compact model. Conversely, reg ...
