What is CCD and CMOS?
Array of Diodes (photosites) that produce a voltage: Linearly Proportional to the AMOUNT incident
light. Non-linearly Dependant to the WAVELENGTH
Built out of layers of Silicone Silicone is sensitive to light Layers add functionality – different layers perform
different functions. (called ‘die’)
CCD History
Invented in 1970 by Bell Labs
Honeywell developed this into an X-Y scanner and taken further by IBM. Originally for data storage!
Taken up by research and astronomy areas.
Now used in security cameras, digital cameras and virtually all digital video applications.
CCD and CMOS Uses
CCD vs CMOS
Create high-quality, low-noise images.
Greater sensitivity and fidelity
100 times more power
Require specialized assembly lines
Older and more developed technology
More susceptible to noise
Light sensitivity is lower
Consume little power
Easy to Manufacture
Cheaper
Picture quality, sensitivity and cost vs. Cost and battery life.
Types of CCD and CMOS
CCD and CMOS
Rotational Lens
• Cheaper
• Good quality
• 3 frames req’d – only stationary objects
Filter Array
• Cheap
• Easy
• Small
Beam Splitters
• Expensive
• High Quality
• One frame required
Properties1. Resolution: 3.2 Megapixels (2054 x 1056)
2. Frame Rate: 30 ~ 500 Frames/sec
3. Dynamic Range: Signal – noise ratio.Dark Signal
4. Windowing: Enhance Region of Interest
5. Remote Control: Simple serial characters
6. Anti-blooming: Bright object saturation.
7. Interface: Serial, parallel, etc.
8. Power: +5VDC @ 2.5W
9. Size: 4mm and larger
10. Cost: $60 and upwards
Interfacing
Many different options: Serial Transmission Parallel Transmission VHF/UHF output
Requires specific power setupSend Input data to setup: Auto Gain Shutter Speed Power mode, image specs etc
Increasing # of onboard calculations
Serial and ParallelRequires MANY Pulses:
Timing
Example
Add a CCD / CMOS to the robot in the lab.Robot must wander and clean the your house while you are sleeping.Choose CMOS due to lower power
consumption.Need high sensitivity for night vision.
Choose the Sharp LZOP3817.
