Image Sensors

Image sensors are a type of sensor used to capture still images and are mostly used in cameras. They work by converting photons, which are light particles, into an electronic signal, and the data collected is turned into an image file. Image sensors come in various resolutions, from as low as 1 megapixel to thousands of megapixels.

Camera

It features a 4K resolutions (3840 × 2160) and a frame rate up to 120fps. This image sensor offers an optimal combination of high image quality, low power consumption and low dark current.

Application Field

OV09734-GA5A image sensor can be widely used for tasks involving photo imaging for consumer, automotive, medical, industrial and other markets, such as security and surveillance, automotive ADAS and driver monitoring, 3D cameras, robotic vision, video recognition, machine vision, and advanced optics and imaging systems.

Working Principle

OV09734-GA5A image sensor works by detecting photons entering the camera’s image sensor via its optical lens. The photons are then converted to an electronic signal and the data collected is turned into an image file. The image sensor has three types of photodiodes: a large photodiode, a smaller, more sensitive photodiode and a low-noise photodiode. The larger photodiode is used for daytime photography, while the smaller, more sensitive photodiode is used for nighttime photography. The low-noise photodiode is used for capturing images in difficult lighting conditions.

When light enters the camera lens, it passes through the lens to the image sensor. The image sensor then converts the photons into electrons, which are then transferred to a charge-coupled device (CCD). The CCD then processes the electrons and converts them into a digital image. This process is called conversion from analog to digital.
