Application-Specific, High-Performance Image Sensors

Location: 
International Congress Centre Munich, Germany
Duration: 
15 June 2009

This is a sub-conference of Frontiers in Electronic Imaging, held under the umbrella of the WORLD OF PHOTONICS CONGRESS 2009, from 15 - 16 June, 2009.

 

Synopsis

The possibility to fabricate photosensitive, analog and digital circuit elements on the same monolithically integrated chip has opened the way to application-specific image sensors (ASIS). Their functionality and performance are optimized for a particular environment, for special operational modes and for custom applications. This conference explores all aspects of ASIS, from the physics of unconventional smart pixels to architectural issues of high-complexity optoelectronic systems-on-a-chip (SoC). The holy grail of optical SoC is the “seeing chip”, an adaptive, high-dynamic-range image sensor with all processing elements on board to process the acquired pictures, to recognize individual objects and to understand complete images.
