Tering gated cmos image sensor with linear wide dynamic range wdr implementation which is synchronized with an external active pulsed light source that is intended for a low light high responsivity night vision system.
Wide dynamic range low light level cmos image sensor.
Oxford researchers have developed a new circuit design to allow cmos image sensing at very low light intensities.
A wide dynamic range dr pixel level cmos image sensor with self reset technique has been fabricated using a 0 18 mum six metal cmos technology and tested to verify simultaneous increase of both.
The ongoing development of low light level lll cmos image sensor cis technology is rapidly advancing and evolving.
The new design also offers a wide dynamic range and is equally effective in responding to very bright light.
How wide dynamic range works.
A wide dynamic range cmos image sensor is proposed exhibiting a linear response at a low illumination level and a logarithmic response at a high illumination level.
Cameras have problems with underexposed and overexposed images because they can only accurately record the middle area of light between very dark and very bright.
Khana new wide dynamic range cmos pulse frequency modulation digital image sensor with in pixel variable reference voltage proceedings of 51st midwest symposium on circuits and systems knoxville usa 10 13 august 2008 pp.
A unit sends out a short laser pulse that illuminates.
The system works as follows.
Current attempts to reduce the leakage current rely on costly process modifications.
