If you spend a lot of time reading about cameras, you’re probably familiar with the terms CMOS sensor and CCD sensor, as they describe the two most popular digital camera sensor types. You probably ...

The early 2000s were a great time for digital phtoography, where the nascent technology was finding its footing through new innovations. There was, however, one sensor design that had the potential to ...

Choosing the right charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor is an important decision. While some features of a given sensor may make it optimal for use in one application, this same sensor may be less ...

Many of the characteristics that engineers look for in machine-vision cameras are determined by the image sensor at the heart of that camera. High-quality images, high resolution, high frame rates, ...

Never heard of the names Willard S Boyle and George E Smith before? Well, remember them now — thanks to their invention, you're able to use a digital camera today. Lexy was a producer and on-air ...

As a manufacturer of both Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD) and CMOS image sensors, why do we have two different approaches for image sensing? CCD technology was designed for imaging, and is the base ...

(Charge-Coupled Device sensor) An electronic memory that records the intensity of light as a variable charge. Although mostly replaced by CMOS sensors to capture images in cameras, camcorders and ...

Ever wondered how the CMOS and CCD image sensors inside cameras work? Well, these neat animations byRaymond Sirí do a great job of explaining it. The animations show the basics of how the two sensor ...

Improved design and fabrication methods teamed up with high-speed processors are spawning low-cost, high-performance CMOS and CCD imagers across a wide range of applications. The latest generation of ...

Compact cameras experienced a slow but explosive resurgence in the photo industry. With about two years of this trend taking ...
