An Image Sensor Connect-The-Dots: Rolling Shutters And Other Thoughts

Sensors /

I'm currently working on a technical article on image sensors, which is out for review in first-draft form. Perhaps obviously, one key focus area deals with the respective strengths and shortcomings of CCDs and CMOS sensors. CCDs implement a 'global shutter' function, wherein all pixels's photodiodes and other associated circuitry terminate photon accumulation at the
