Image: Draper Eric Fossum, the inventor of the modern CMOS image sensor and a longtime friend of DPReview, was recently awarded the 2026 Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering. The award, which is ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Image sensors are built into every smartphone and every digital camera. They distinguish colors in a similar way to the human eye. In our retinas, individual cone cells recognize red, green and blue ...

Vision systems are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, driven by big improvements in image sensors as well as new types of sensors. While the sensor itself often is developed using mature-node silicon, ...

Image sensors measure light intensity, but angle, spectrum, and other aspects of light must also be extracted to significantly advance machine vision. The partners state that such developments “could ...

A new generation of CMOS image sensors can exploit all the image data to perceive a scene, understand the situation, and intervene by embedding artificial intelligence (AI) in the sensor. CEA-Leti ...

When sanctions hit Huawei, Sony, the original supplier of image sensors, halted their shipments, affecting both companies. Sony sought permission to resume supplies, but their relationship with Huawei ...

The expanding use and importance of image sensors in safety-critical applications such as automotive and medical devices has transformed noise from an annoyance into a life-threatening problem that ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and Empa have developed a new image sensor made of lead halide perovskite, which promises better colour reproduction and fewer image artefacts with less light. It's been a ...
