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 ...

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 ...

Eastman Kodak Company has set the quality standard for digital imaging with new high-resolution image sensors that allow commercial, studio, and other professional photographers to capture digital ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Bayer array, or Bayer filter, is what lets a digital camera take color photos. It’s an array of tiny color filters that sit on top of a camera’s CCD. The filter makes it so that each sub-pixel in ...

While our industry has installed many a camera, often not much thought at the dealer level is given to the actual guts of the camera. The focus is always on whether the camera can give you the images ...

Toshiba’s TCD2728DG CCD linear image sensor uses lens reduction to cut random noise, enhancing image quality in semiconductor inspection equipment and A3 multifunction printers. As a lens-reduction ...

Fairchild Imaging CCD sensors capture digital images of Saturn’s moon Titan. These ultra sensitive Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensors are the “eyes” of several instruments on the NASA/ESA/ASI ...

(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 ...

A type of CCD sensor from Fujifilm that is used in its digital cameras. Super CCD uses a honeycomb structure of octagon-shaped light sensors (photodiodes) at 45 degree angles rather than 90 degrees.
