MEMS Drive, SmartSens to Collaborate on CMOS Image Sensing
A cooperation agreement between CMOS imaging systems provider SmartSens and image stabilization innovator MEMS Drive could further research into the fields of CMOS image sensing and chip-level optical image stabilization (OIS) technologies.

The two companies plan to explore the potential of chip-level stabilization technology beyond the field of digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. Through its collaboration with MEMS Drive, SmartSens will introduce chip-level antivibration technology into CMOS image sensors and make this technology available in nonmobile applications enabled by artificial intelligence, such as security and machine vision. These sensors will feature added stabilization control as well.
