A look at CCD, CMOS, and hybrid CCD/CMOS TDI image sensors

CMOS image sensors, as of late, have been replacing CCD image sensors in many applications. But why is this the case?

In a free webcast on December 14, Piet De Moor from Imec (pictured) will provide an in-depth look into the world of image sensors, including the different types of sensors available, both line scan and area array alike. He will also discuss TDI line scan cameras, color line scan cameras, and the ways that this technology is implemented (e.g. RGB, spectral filters, pixel pitches, and the different performance tradeoffs).

He will also discuss the differences between CCD and CMOS in terms of frame transfer speed, resolution, region of interest readout, quantum efficiency, fill factor, and on-pixel processing. Additionally, he will provide insight on which image sensor to choose for a particular application, with examples.

This webcast, which is sponsored by Teledyne DALSA, Point Grey, and Microscan, will conclude with a question and answer period.
