"Providing an introduction to the systemization of image sensor technology and perspective on its various noise sources and signal processes, this book delivers a detailed description of image information and its four factors: light intensity, space, wavelength, and time. It discusses how image sensors convert optical image information into image signals. It tackles CCD, MOS, and CMOS, as well as key techniques such as BSI. It also considers the influences of in-system digitized coordinate points and explains sampling theorem, presenting unique figures demonstrating the importance of phase"--

For readers new to image sensors, physicist Kuroda explains the indispensable functions and ideal situation of image sensors by marshaling the factors that determine image information quality and explaining the structure of image information. He also discusses the history of image sensors and the way designers tried to respond to market demands by using the best combinations of the available technology in each era. Among his topics are device elements and circuits for image sensors, the integration period and scanning mode, impacts of digitalization by built-in coordinate points on image information quality, and imaging systems.
