CMOS/CCD SENSORS AND CAMERA SYSTEMS
by
Gerald C. Holst and Terrence S. Lomheim
CMOS sensors have been added to CCD Arrays, Cameras, and Displays (second edition) to create this new book. CMOS/CCD differences, similarities, and applications are described in detail. It provides CMOS and CCD array architecture concepts and operation, (full-frame, interline transfer, progressive scan, color filter arrays, rolling shutters, 3T, 4T, 5T, and 6T). Novel designs include EMCCD, EBCCD, Super CCD, and intensified CCDs. The advantages and limitations of small pixels (less than 5 microns) are described in detail. It provides the background material necessary to specify cameras using radiometric or photometric concepts. Numerous examples illustrate sampling theory and aliasing. Coupled with image quality concepts, system analysts will use the modulation transfer function and signal-to-noise ratio to describe performance. For system integrators, it provides information on the entire system, scene-to-observer. 253 figures, 45 tables, 255 references, 355+xx pages (2007)
