  3. Introduction • The CMOS imaging system-on-chip includes an embedded frame buffer and operates at 100 MHz. The programmable chip produces color video at up to 500 frames/s with over 100 dB dynamic range using multi-capture. The sensor utilizes a 0.18 um 1 P 4 M CMOS process and dissipates 600 mW including I/O.

  4. Definitions • Dynamic Range • LVDS

  5. Dynamic Range • Some scenes contain very wide range of illumination with intensities varying over 100dB range or more • Biological vision systems and silver halide film can image such high dynamic range scenes with little loss of contrast information • Dynamic range of solid-state image sensors varies over wide range: • high end CCDs > 78dB • consumer grade CCDs 66dB • consumer grade CMOS imagers 54dB • So, except for high end CCDs, image sensor dynamic range is not high enough to capture high dynamic range scenes

  6. Dynamic Range 2 • Dynamic range quantifies the ability of a sensor to adequately image both high lights and dark shadows in a scene • It is defined as the ratio of the largest nonsaturating input signal to the smallest detectable input signal

  7. Multiple Capture Issue • Dual capture implementation not too difficult (plenty of time between the two captures to readout the first capture • Multiple capture implementation is quite difficult, needs: • Very high speed non-destructive readout • On-chip memory and some logic to perform reconstruction of HDR image during capture

  8. LVDS • Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) as the name suggests is a differential Interconnectivity standard: • low voltage swing of approximately 350 mV to communicate over a pair of traces on a PCB or cable. • superior immunity to noise • low power • low cost
