— We present a back-illuminated 32 x 32 pixel image sensor in 0.5-µm silicon-on-sapphire process. The imager performs ”snap-shot” image acquisition and analog readout at a c...
Recently, visual representations using high dynamic range (HDR) images become increasingly popular, with advancement of technologies for increasing the dynamic range of image. HDR...
The ability to constrain the geometry of deformable models for image segmentation can be useful when information about the expected shape or positioning of the objects in a scene i...
This paper proposes a real-time method for the reduction of white Gaussian video noise. The method achieves a maximum gain of 4.8 dB and is capable of preserving image content. It...
In many Earth observation missions, a large amount of data is collected by the on-board sensors, and must be transmitted to ground through a channel with limited capacity; in this...
