Global Shutter CMOS Imaging

e2v has announced the availability of a new generation of custom high-sensitivity CMOS imaging sensors. A new, low-noise, full-frame global shuttering scheme uses high quantum efficiency (>80%), CMOS sensor technology. This technology is particularly suited to performance-driven markets such as surveillance, homeland security, automotive driver active safety applications and industrial machine vision including barcode reading. The new sensors en­able detection of small, fast moving objects or subtle contrast differences in everyday wide-dynamic scenes, which rely on the algorithm being supplied with high-quality image sensor data.
