Master of Science (Computer Engineering), May 2007, 62 pp., 11 tables, 22 figures, references, 79 titles. Image sensors play a vital role in many image sensing and capture applications. Among the various types of image sensors, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based active pixel sensors (APS), which are characterized by reduced pixel size, give fast readouts and reduced noise. APS are used in many applications such as mobile cameras, digital cameras, Webcams, and many consumer, commercial and scientific applications. With these developments and applications, CMOS APS designs are challenging the old and mature technology of charged couple device (CCD) sensors. With the continuous improvements of APS architecture, pixel designs, along with the development of nanometer CMOS fabrications technologies, APS are optimized for optical sensing. In addition, APS offers very low-power and low-voltage operations and is suitable for monolithic integration, thus allowing manufacturers to integrate more functionality on the array and building low-cost camera-on-a-chip. In this thesis, I explore the current state-of-the-art of CMOS APS by examining various types of APS.

  • How Digital Cameras Capture Light
    1 Open Your Shutters How Digital Cameras Capture Light Avery Cirincione­Lynch Eighth Grade Project Paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter School June 2014 2 Cover image courtesy of tumblr.com How Can I Develop This: Introduction Imagine you are walking into a dark room; at first you can't see anything, but as your pupils begin to dilate, you can start to see the details and colors of the room. Now imagine you are holding a film camera in a field of flowers on a sunny day; you focus on a beautiful flower and snap a picture. Once you develop it, it comes out just how you wanted it to so you hang it on your wall. Lastly, imagine you are standing over that same flower, but, this time after snapping the photograph, instead of having to developing it, you can just download it to a computer and print it out. All three of these scenarios are examples of capturing light. Our eyes use an optic nerve in the back of the eye that converts the image it senses into a set of electric signals and transmits it to the brain (Wikipedia, Eye). Film cameras use film; once the image is projected through the lens and on to the film, a chemical reaction occurs recording the light. Digital cameras use electronic sensors in the back of the camera to capture the light. Currently, there are two main types of sensors used for digital photography: the charge­coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal­oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. Both of these methods convert the intensity of the light at each pixel into binary form, so the picture can be displayed and saved as a digital file (Wikipedia, Image Sensor).

  • The New Foveon Sensors the Current Color Filter Array Sensors Active
    Sensors By Vincent Bockaert The New Foveon Sensors The Current Color Filter Array Sensors The cone-shaped cells inside our eyes are sensitive to red, green, and blue—the "primary colors". All other digital camera sensors only measure the brightness of each pixel. As shown in thisdiagram, a We perceive all other colors as combinations of these primary colors. In conventional photography, "color filter array" is positioned on top of the sensor to capture the red, green, and blue components of the red, green, and blue components of light expose the corresponding chemical layers of color film. light falling onto it. As a result, each pixel measures only one primary color, while the other two colors The new Foveon sensors are based on the same principle, and have three sensor layers that are "estimated" based on the surrounding pixels via software. These approximations reduce image measure the primary colors, as shown in this diagram. Combining these color layers results in a digital sharpness, which is not the case with Foveon sensors. However, as the number o fpixels in current image, basically a mosaic of square tiles or "pixels" of uniform color which are so tiny that it appears sensors increases, the sharpness reduction becomes less visible.

Toronto, Canada. Toronto, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Abstract— A noise model that is generated from pictures taken by differently illuminating the same subject matter is presented. The superposigram, a three dimensional structure based on three different illuminations of the subject matter is used to directly calculate the noise present in the images which is attributable to the noise originating in the sensor array. Though a similar method has been used to determine the dynamic range Fig. 1: One of the many datasets used in the computation of the superposigram.

INTRODUCTION Canon currently makes five extraordinary EOS DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras of which two, the EOS-1Ds Mark II and the EOS 5D, incorporate full-frame CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors. Today, these cameras are unique in format and unequalled in performance. This paper will discuss what is meant by “full-frame sensor,” why full-frame sensors are the finest all-around tools of digital photography, why CMOS is superior to CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) for DSLR cameras, and how it came to pass that the evolution of a host of associated technologies – and some courageous and insightful business decisions – positioned Canon to stand alone as the only manufacturer of 35mm format digital cameras with full-frame image sensors today (as of August 1st, 2006).

  • Wake-Up Radio Based Approach to Low-Power and Low-Latency Communication in the Internet of Things
    Wake-up Radio based Approach to Low-Power and Low-Latency Communication in the Internet of Things Rajeev Piyare Advisor Dr. Amy L. Murphy, Bruno Kessler Foundation, Italy Committee Prof. Stefano Basagni, Northeastern University, USA Prof. Olivier Berder, Université de Rennes 1, France Prof. Renato Lo Cigno, University of Trento, Italy Trento, Italy, 2019 Abstract For the Internet of Things to flourish a long lasting energy supply for remotely deployed large- scale sensor networks is of paramount importance. An uninterrupted power supply is required by these nodes to carry out tasks such as sensing, data processing, and data communication. Of these, radio communication remains the primary battery consuming activity in wireless systems. Advances in MAC protocols have enabled significant lifetime improvements by putting the main transceiver in sleep mode for extended periods. However, the sensor nodes still waste energy due to two main issues. First, the nodes periodically wake-up to sample the channel even when there is no data for it to receive, leading to idle listening cost. On the other side, the sending node must repeatedly transmit packets until the receiver wakes up and acknowledges receipt, leading to energy wastage due to over-transmission. In systems with the low data rate, idle listening and over-transmission can begin to dominate energy costs. In this thesis, we take a novel hardware approach to eliminate energy overhead in WSNs by addition of a second, extremely low-power wake-up radio component. This approach leverages an always-on wake-up receiver to delegate the task of listening to the channel for a trigger and then waking up a higher power transceiver when required.
