Essential Principles of Image Sensors, (Paperback)

This must-have book provides a succinct introduction to the systemization, noise sources, and signal processes of image sensor technology, discussing image information and its four factors: space, light intensity, wavelength, and time. Insightfully illustrated, the text explains how image sensors convert optical image information into image signals, as well as details the operational principles, pixel technology, and evolution of CCD, MOS, and CMOS sensors. It also describes sampling theory and explores causes for the decline of image information quality.
