Mosak imagers increase field of view cost effect\ ely, by connecting single-chip cameras in a coordinated manrer equivalen to a large array of snsors Components that would conventionally have been in ceparate chips can be integrated on the same focal plane by using CMOS imagc sensors (CIS) Here a mosaic imaging system is constructed using CIS connected through a bus line (called the irnagc-bus which shares common input controls and output(s), and enables additional cameras to be inserted with little system modification. The imagebus consumes relatively lo power by employing intelligent power control techniques. However, the bandwidth of the bus will still limit the number of camera modules that can be connected in the mosaic array. Hence, signalprocessing components, such as data reduction and encoding, are needed on-chip in order to achieve high readout speed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
