CMOS Image Sensors

Solid-state CMOS photosensitive image sensors that convert an optical image into a digital signal; the core element of cameras and vision modules.

CMOS image sensors are integrated circuits built from a grid of photodiodes (pixels) that convert incoming light into electric charge and then into a digital image. In robotics and vision systems they are the heart of RGB cameras and perception modules. Modern variants use BSI (back-side illumination) and stacked construction (pixel and logic layers stacked vertically) for higher sensitivity and faster readout.
