A 35-mm format 11 M pixel full-frame CCDfor professional digital still imaging

Abstract

To meet the demand for higher resolution in professional digital imaging, an 11 M pixel, 35-mm format full-frame CCD image sensor was developed as an upgrade for an existing 6 M pixel CCD. This paper presents the device requirements, the architecture, modes of operation, and extensive evaluation results.

Implementation of a parallel-beam optical-CT apparatus for three-dimensional radiation dosimetry using a high-resolution CCD camera

“…According to Huang et al, designing at full 'high definition' requires a resolution of 1920 Â 1080 (1080p) and an image refresh frequency of 30 frames per second (fps). Then, the mean error of auto white balance for the image system processor (ISP) with a better performance in SNR, has to less than 0.02%, which is difficult to perceive by the human eye [21]. Moreover, the CCD image sensor in the photoelectric conversion process results in a frequency-independent white Gaussian noise [22,23], and Veerakumar and Esakkirajan proposed an adaptive median filtering algorithm that can reduce the impact of such white Gaussian noise [24].…”

Exquisite Design of a CCD Analog Front End Module

“…In this study, our major subject is to implement the design of an AFE module based on the CCD sensor. This design can be applied to the high-resolution camera [5]. Since the CCD sensor owns the better characteristics, which are in the dark current and abnormal temperature conditions, than that of the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) one, it can get the better image quality under the worse environmental condition [1].…”
