How Your Digital Camera Sensor Works A digital camera’s sensor collects light and converts that light into an image. It’s a small square positioned inside the camera body behind where the lens ...

How the latest digital-camera sensors create sharper color photographs.

Professor Danielle George explains how a digital camera’s CMOS sensor captures an image, using balls and buckets to represent photons, electrons and capacitors.

How good this algorithm is decides how accurate the colors in the final image are. As an aside, the raw digital image from a sensor is always black and white.

At the heart of all digital cameras is an image sensor, which converts light information transmitted via a lens into an electrical signal that can then be stored and called up later by a computer ...

Chances are pretty good that you have at least one digital image sensor somewhere close to you at this moment, likely within arm’s reach. The ubiquity of digital cameras is due to how cheap ...

The general idea of how a digital image sensor works is relatively simple: a dense grid of light-detecting photosites captures millions of pixels worth of intensity and color data about the ...

Forty years after they first sketched out the idea for a digital image sensor, two former Bell Labs research scientists have been jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2009 "for the invention ...

Four engineers responsible for the creation of digital imaging sensors have been honored with the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Prize, a British award that celebrates world-changing innovations in ...

The same person that created the sensor found in most cameras is behind a new Quanta Image Sensor with crazy low-light capabilities.
