Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors for mobile devices

R.J. Gove,    Aptina Imaging, USA

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the application of CMOS image sensors in the mobile market. The chapter first reviews the history and how innovation has overcome the limitations of core technologies to enable mobile imaging. A review of the CMOS image sensor architectures and product considerations provides insight into how the basic image sensor evolves to a smart camera imaging solution, featuring key functions beyond picture taking into full ‘imaging for information.’ The chapter then discusses emerging technologies that will transform mobile imaging to enable unique and useful applications, which will fuel market growth and ...
