CRC Press, 2007, 272 p. ISBN-10: 0849336813, ISBN-13: 978-0849336812 Exploring this popular technology, Smart CMOS Image Sensors and Applications focuses on the smart functions implemented in CMOS image sensors as well as the applications of these sensors. After discussing the history of smart CMOS image sensors, the book describes the fundamental elements of CMOS image sensors. It covers some optoelectronic device physics and introduces typical...

Xerox Limited 1998, 14 p. Technical Report EPC-1998-106. This paper provides an overview of both CCD (charged coupled device) and CMOS (complimentary metal oxide semiconductor) imaging array technologies. CCDs have been in existence for nearly 30 years and the technology has matured to the point where very large, consistent (low numbers of defects) devices can now be produced. However, CCDs suffer from a number of drawbacks, including cost, comp...

Springer, 2004, 250 p., ISBN-10: 1402079613, ISBN-13: 978-1402079610. This is the first book published on CMOS imagers. It covers the full chain, starting from the basic concepts of photo transduction, and continues with pixel and system examples of CMOS Active Pixel Sensor (APS) imagers. CMOS Imagers: From Phototransduction to Image Processing contains six contributed chapters. The first three detail the basic concepts of photo transduction, mo...
