Image Sensor Architecture
Abstract
This chapter discusses image sensors, the devices that transform optical signals to electrical signals. We start from the basic principle that governs this signal transduction inside a pixel and then discuss how pixels are architected together to form an image sensor. We then turn to various in-sensor optics, which are not necessarily important for forming images but are important for forming visually pleasing images that, for instance, have realistic colors and are free of aliasing effects.
