HDR Sensors for Embedded Vision

By Michael Tusch Founder and CEO Apical Limited At the late-March 2012 Embedded Vision Alliance Summit, Eric Gregori and Shehrzad Qureshi from BDTI presented a helpful overview of CCD and CMOS image sensor technology. I thought it might be interesting to extend this topic to cover so-called HDR (High Dynamic Range) / WDR (Wide Dynamic

The Analog Joystick: An Image Sensor-Plus-Accessory Combo Creates One That’s Slick

If you're not into videoconferencing but you're into gaming, researchers have come up with a clever alternative use for your smartphone's front-mounted camera. A rubberized accessory device mounted ahead of it, containing a patterned grid and able to let in sufficient light even with your finger on top of it, transforms the image sensor into

Vision-Based Gesture Recognition: An Ideal Human Interface for Industrial Control Applications

By Brian Dipert Editor-In-Chief Embedded Vision Alliance Senior Analyst BDTI This article was originally published in Digi-Key's Microcontroller TechZone. An excerpt of it is reprinted here with the permission of Digi-Key. Embedded vision, the evolution and extrapolation of computer-based vision systems that process and interpret meaning from still and video images, is poised to be

Image Sensor ISO: A ‘Where Does Noise Come From’ Tutorial Show

In the introductory essay to last Thursday's Embedded Vision Insights newsletter, and in speaking of Nokia's new cameraphone, I wrote: The Nokia 808 contains a 41 Mpixel image sensor (no, that's not a typo), notable not only for its high resolution but also for its relatively relaxed 1.4 um pixel pitch, the latter translating into

Time Of Flight: Samsung’s New RGB Image Sensor Also Has Depth Sight

Kudos to EDN Magazine's Margery Conner for "tweeting" me a heads-up about a Samsung announcement at the recent ISSCC (International Solid State Circuits Conference), originally covered by Nikkei Business Publications' Tech-On! and later also picked up by Gizmodo, The Verge and TechCrunch. At first glance, the image sensor above may look like a convention Bayer-patterned
