Application-Specific, High-Performance Image Sensors

This is a sub-conference of Frontiers in Electronic Imaging, held under the umbrella of the WORLD OF PHOTONICS CONGRESS 2009, from 15 - 17 June, 2009. Please click here to download the Call for papers.

Synopsis

The possibility to fabricate photosensitive, analog and digital circuit elements on the same monolithically integrated chip has opened the way to application-specific image sensors (ASIS). Their functionality and performance are optimized for a particular environment, for special operational modes and for custom applications. This conference explores all aspects of ASIS, from the physics of unconventional smart pixels to architectural issues of high-complexity optoelectronic systems-on-a-chip (SoC). The holy grail of optical SoC is the “seeing chip”, an adaptive, high-dynamic-range image sensor with all processing elements on board to process the acquired pictures, to recognize individual objects and to understand complete images.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Physics, design and simulation of novel smart pixels
  • Application-specific pixels with record performance
  • Unconventional photosensor devices with custom functionality
  • High-speed image sensing
  • High-dynamic-range image sensing
  • Charge-domain signal processing with CCD structures
  • Architectures for high-performance image sensors
  • Electronic circuits for single-chip cameras
  • Signal processing algorithms and implementations on seeing chips
  • Application examples with record performance
