A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

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, ...

Researchers have developed the first in-sensor processor that could be integrated into commercial silicon imaging sensor chips -- known as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors ...

It was suggested during the early 1990’s that Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) were slowly becoming extinct and therefore were considered as ‘technological dinosaurs’ 1. Furthermore, in 2015 the Sony ...

Bottom line: No word yet on whether or not Sony's new image sensors will find their way to consumer products although given advancements in technology like AR, you have to think someone will try their ...

The expanding use and importance of image sensors in safety-critical applications such as automotive and medical devices has transformed noise from an annoyance into a life-threatening problem that ...

Engineers have introduced a holistic system that integrates sensing, storage and processing at the sensor's edge to enable efficient and secure signal processing. Brain-inspired hardware minimizes ...

Developments in CMOS image-sensor technology bring new light to applications for cameras and machine vision. Because of integrated signal processing and active pixels, products such as low-power ...

A direct image sensor is an image sensor that directly captures red, green, and blue light at each point in an image during a single exposure. Foveon pioneered the development of the direct image ...
