CCDs Capture Dynamic Motion

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A compromise often must be made between parameters such as resolution and dynamic range to optimize imaging and to contain camera costs.

Toshi Hori, JAI Pulnix

Whether the application involves high-speed machine vision, live-cell imaging or surveillance, dynamic motion capture is a key task of the CCD image sensor. The need to capture an image fast and freeze it, while immediately exposing the photodiode to capture subsequent images, typically requires an interline transfer or even an intensified interline transfer CCD in extreme cases. A full-frame CCD architecture won’t work in this application because the photodiode basically is the CCD and will read out while being exposed. The device must read the stored image pixel by pixel. An interline...Read full article

    A CCD image sensor, or charge-coupled device image sensor, is a type of electronic device used to convert optical images into electronic signals. It is a key component in digital cameras, camcorders, and various imaging systems. CCD image sensor suppliers → The CCD image sensor consists of an array of light-sensitive pixels, each capable of converting photons (light) into electrical charge. The basic operation of a CCD image sensor involves the following steps: Photon...
