An experimental digital image sensor that converts analog video signals into 8-bit digital signals for each unit pixel, and reads out the signals at an operating clock of standard TV has been developed. Each pixel is equipped with a photodiode, a 1-bit analog-to-digital converter (1-bit ADC), an 8-bit pulse counter, and a signal processing circuit. The sensor system displays a two-dimensional (2-D) image in real time. The 1-bit ADC has a dynamic range of 110 dB at an operating voltage of 1.3 V. “Knee” characteristics and the results of an investigation into random noise sources in the circuit are also described 相似文献

An 80×60 pixels arbitrated address-event imager has been designed and fabricated in a 0.6 μm CMOS process. The output bandwidth is allocated according to the pixel's demand. The imager has a large dynamic range: 200 dB (pixel) and 120 dB (array). The power consumption is 3.4 mW in uniform indoor light. The imager is capable of 8.3 K effective frames per second 相似文献

A new current-programmed, current-output active TFT image sensor suitable for real-time X-ray imaging (e.g. fluoroscopy) using hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film-transistor (TFT) technology is introduced. The proposed pixel circuit can successfully compensate for characteristic variations such as mobility and threshold voltage shift in a-Si:H TFTs. Simulation and measurement results show that high on-pixel amplification can be accomplished with this pixel circuit. 相似文献

An experimental television camera incorporating a completely integrated self-scanned solid-state image sensor has been built. The integrated sensor includes a photosensitive array having 32 400 picture elements, two 180-stage shift register scan generators and associated video coupling transistors. This large-scale integration of more than 100 000 components was carried out in the laboratory entirely by evaporated thin-film techniques. Each element of the photosensitive array comprises one or two photoconductors of CdS or CdS-CASe mixture, each in series with a diode. The 180-stage scan generators utilize 540 CdSe TWF's deposited upon a glass snbstrate. Center-to-center spacing of elements in the array and in the scan generators is 2 mils. The array is scanned at conventional television scan rates permitting the picture to be displayed upon a commercial television receiver. The camera is connected to the receiver either through a cable or through a UHF link with camera and transmitter powered by a self-contained battery. Camera circuits other than the integrated sensor employ conventional transistors and integrated components. Progress toward the development of an improved sensor having more picture elements is outlined. 相似文献

A fiber-optic liquid level sensor is presented which directly outputs digitally encoded liquid level information. The sensor operates on selective coupling at the liquid surface between a source waveguide and an array of digitally masked receiving waveguides. The receiving waveguides carry optical "high/low" signals to a remote detector and discriminator circuit. The sensor is capable of liquid level resolution of ± 2 mm over a range of up to several meters. A 40-cm-long prototype sensor has demonstrated an optical signal-to-noise ratio of 10-20 dB for several different transparent and semi-transparent liquids. The digital nature of the sensor provides good isolation from drift and the effect of tilt, source intensity fluctuations, and variations in liquid characteristics. Optical fibers are the only connections to the liquid tank, providing complete electrical isolation. The associated electronics are relatively simple and inexpensive. 相似文献

A charge modulation device (CMD) imager with pixel dimensions of 7.3 μm(H)×7.6 μm(V) was designed, fabricated, and examined. These pixel dimensions are suitable for an HDTV imager with a 1-in image format. The optical aperture ratio is 34%. The effective number of pixels in the imager is 660 horizontal and 492 vertical. The saturation signal current is 17 μA/pixel at an exposure of 1 lx-s with good linearity of photoconversion characteristics. The peak of its spectral response occurs at a wavelength of 575 nm. The blooming suppression ratio of the CMD was measured to be -122 dB. The sensor produces a high-quality image with no degradation in spatial resolution and no image lag. These features show that the CMD imager is eminently suitable for a further high-resolution imager sensor 相似文献

A major problem associated with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor and charge couple device imagers is their limited dynamic range (DR), typically 60-70 dB. This falls far short of covering the wide illumination ranges found in natural scenes (typically 120-140 dB). Biological retinas are known to feature adaptive, logarithmic-type responses enabling them to cover a very wide DR, without compromising the resolution. This letter presents a novel way to realize such an adaptive logarithmic response by combining a digital time domain vision sensor and a simple adaptive digital quantizer. This letter presents the theory and experimental results for an adaptive logarithmic response sensor featuring over 100-dB DR. 相似文献

Studies were carried out on a self-scanned image sensor comprising a linear integrated-circuit array of photodiodes and metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors. It was found that the maximum scanning rate is about 2.5×105bits/s, and that the value is mainly restricted by the photo-induced current and the junction capacitance of the photodiode. 相似文献

A high performance pressure sensor circuit is described with a digital signal interface for accurate remote sensing of pressure. The signal conditioning circuitry converts sensor resistance variation into a digital signal. Automatic offset error correction prevents long term and temperature drift effects on overall performance. The digitized signal is detected remotely over two wires by means of optical or ferrite coupling. The same two wires were used for power supply delivery. Floating operation allows good performance in a noisy environment. Test results have shown less than 0-25 psi/°C input equivalent pressure error in a temperature range of – 25°C to +75°C. The non-linearity was less than 0-2% in a dynamic pressure range of 500/1 at room temperature. 相似文献

A feature-based robust digital image watermarking scheme 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

A robust digital image watermarking scheme that combines image feature extraction and image normalization is proposed. The goal is to resist both geometric distortion and signal processing attacks. We adopt a feature extraction method called Mexican hat wavelet scale interaction. The extracted feature points can survive a variety of attacks and be used as reference points for both watermark embedding and detection. The normalized image of an image (object) is nearly invariant with respect to rotations. As a result, the watermark detection task can be much simplified when it is applied to the normalized image. However, because image normalization is sensitive to image local variation, we apply image normalization to nonoverlapped image disks separately. The disks are centered at the extracted feature points. Several copies of a 16-bit watermark sequence are embedded in the original image to improve the robustness of watermarks. Simulation results show that our scheme can survive low-quality JPEG compression, color reduction, sharpening, Gaussian filtering, median filtering, row or column removal, shearing, rotation, local warping, cropping, and linear geometric transformations. 相似文献

The difference between two capacitors is measured digitally using a charge redistribution technique incorporating a comparator, MOS switches, a successive approximation register, and a digital-to-analog converter. The technique is insensitive to comparator offset and parasitic capacitance, and the effect of MOS switch charge injection is measured and canceled. Extensive measurements have been made from test chips fabricated in 3-μm CMOS technology. Detection of percent differences of <0.5% on 20-100-fF capacitors has been successfully demonstrated 相似文献

A newly designed pulse frequency modulation photosensor for use in retinal prosthesis is proposed and demonstrated. The pixel converts the intensity of incident light into biphasic current pulses at frequencies suitable for the electrical stimulation of retinal neurons. Experimental results showed that the device was sensitive over a dynamic range of input light of about 120 dB, and that photosensitivity could be varied from 0 dB to around -40 dB. 相似文献

In this paper, a 256×256 pixel CMOS imager is described that exhibits 120 dB dynamic range, 56 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), 65% fill factor, and an effective frame rate of 50 Hz. This has been achieved using a unique combination of a multiexposure and a multigain linear readout. The imager has been integrated in 1 μm double-metal CMOS technology. The intended application is for driver's assistant systems, but the imager can be used for a wide range of applications requiring high dynamic range 相似文献
