Project summary

• For CMOS imagers research in pixel design, low-noise analogue read-out including AD-conversion and multiplexing.
• Modeling of thermal-, optical- and electrical cross-talk, optics and correction algorithms for imager and optical enhancement.
• Increase the dynamic range in CMOS imagers to 120dB and lower the noise level with at least 50% to make CMOS imagers surpass today’s CCDs.
• Deliver five new imagers for the Automotive, Medical, Broadcast, Safety/Security/Machine Vision and professional Digital Still Camera markets.
• Algorithms to correct flaws of the imagers and the optics.
• Demonstrations in the project will focus on the automotive, medical and broadcast applications.
