When it comes to selecting cameras for smart-surveillance applications, the most important factor to consider is light sensitivity for indoor and outdoor environments. Here, we go into depth about the ...

SIONYX makes CMOS digital image sensors that are exceptionally good for night vision cameras. Shown is a side-by-side comparison of night scenes. On the left is what one would see with normal eyesight ...

NEC has developed an uncooled IR image sensor that incorporates high-purity semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the IR detection area. The company claims the new sensor achieves more than three ...

Single junction type (a) and the proposed double junction type (b) solar cells are compared with the conventional TANDEM type (c) and the proposed face-to-face type (d) multi-junction connections. A ...

As any driver knows, accidents can happen in the blink of an eye — so when it comes to the camera system in autonomous vehicles, processing time is critical. The time that it takes for the system to ...

Vision systems are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, driven by big improvements in image sensors as well as new types of sensors. While the sensor itself often is developed using mature-node silicon, ...

The new sensor is more light-sensitive, reproduces colours more accurately and offers significantly higher resolution than conventional silicon sensors. (Nanowerk News) Image sensors are built into ...

CCD (Charge-coupled Devices) are a technology used in optical microscopy to record images of organic and inorganic structures in fine detail. This article will discuss these devices and why they are ...
