Emerging Applications Drive Image Sensor Innovations

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Demand for sensors in automobiles, the Internet of Things, and AI is challenging vendors to integrate systems and improve performance.

HANK HOGAN, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, [email protected]

CMOS sensors are being taken for a ride. Forecasts call for image sensor market growth to be driven by automobiles, with increasing use of lidar, cameras, and sensors. To not hit a stop sign, though, vendors need to up product performance and cut costs. There also are other emerging markets, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), and technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), that have their own demands. Vendors are responding by increasing sensor spectral range, integrating new capabilities into devices, and adding features such as 3D imaging. The result can be rapid growth in...Read full article

    lidar
    Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
