Anyone who has used a 'smart lens' app on their smartphone is familiar with machine vision. Rather than simply reproducing and storing a picture for later viewing, machine vision applies an image ...

Many industry sources suggest that there may be a fundamental shift approaching for digital image sensors. Technology advances may soon allow the image quality available from CMOS image sensors to ...

SIONYX makes CMOS digital image sensors that are exceptionally good for night vision cameras. Shown is a side-by-side comparison of night scenes. On the left is what one would see with normal eyesight ...

When it comes to selecting cameras for smart-surveillance applications, the most important factor to consider is light sensitivity for indoor and outdoor environments. Here, we go into depth about the ...

The new sensor is more light-sensitive, reproduces colours more accurately and offers significantly higher resolution than conventional silicon sensors. (Nanowerk News) Image sensors are built into ...

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, ...
