The godfather of the active-pixel CMOS sensor, Eric R Fossum, PhD, has been awarded the 2026 Charles Stark Draper Prize for ...
Let’s start with this – did you know that one of the most important pieces of camera technology was developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in 1993? That’s right: it’s the active pixel sensor that’s ...
Image: Draper Eric Fossum, the inventor of the modern CMOS image sensor and a longtime friend of DPReview, was recently awarded the 2026 Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering. The award, which is ...
The dynamic range of a scene is usually higher than the dynamic range of the sensor used to acquire the image. Design optimizations must be found that increase the intra-scene dynamic range a sensor ...
Optical AI is revolutionizing sensor technology, integrating sensing and processing for efficient, low-power intelligent ...
The S16101 CMOS area image sensor with back-illuminated structure and a 1280x1024 Active Pixel Sensor matrix, incorporates a timing generator, amplifier and A/D converter. The sensor has a digital ...
The invention led by Jie Zhang, a postdoctoral scholar in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory lab of Sherman Fairchild Professor Matt Wilson, is a new take on the standard CMOS technology ...
