Providing a succinct introduction to the systemization, noise sources, and signal processes of image sensor technology, Essential Principles of Image Sensors discusses image information and its four factors: space, light intensity, wavelength, and time. Featuring clarifying and insightful illustrations, this must-have text:

Explains how image sensors convert optical image information into image signals Treats space, wavelength, and time as digitized built-in coordinate points in image sensors and systems Details the operational principles, pixel technology, and evolution of CCD, MOS, and CMOS sensors with updated technology Describes sampling theory, presenting unique figures demonstrating the importance of phase Explores causes for the decline of image information quality

In a straightforward manner suitable for beginners and experts alike, Essential Principles of Image Sensors covers key topics related to digital imaging including semiconductor physics, component elements necessary for image sensors, silicon as a sensitive material, noises in sensors, and more.

Takao Kuroda earned his bachelor, masters, and doctorate degrees from Osaka University, Japan. Throughout his illustrious career, he has held positions in the Panasonic Corporation’s Electronics Laboratory, Kyoto Research Laboratory, Elemental Technology Development Group, and Image Sensor Business Unit. He initially retired from Panasonic in December 2005, but at the company’s request, he accepted an advisory role to establish a technology strategy. In 2011, he retired completely to write the Japanese version of Essential Principles of Image Sensors. An ITE fellow, Dr. Kuroda holds 70 Japanese and 15 US patents. His research has contributed to numerous technological advancements around the world.

Reviews for Essential Principles of Image Sensors

The main strength of this book is the breadth of the covered material - from basic semiconductor device and sensor physics, to specifics of various types of image sensors, to image processing fundamentals, and to imaging systems performance. Thus, this book would be useful to anyone who wishes to learn the basics of various aspects of image sensors, and who does not want to go into deep details. The title of the book reflects correctly that this book is about 'essential principles'. -Maxim Ershov, Silicon Frontline Technology, Campbell, California, USA Unmatched by any other book in describing the techniques for building competitive CMOS image sensors. Fundamentally grounded in sampling theory. -Tobi Delbruck, Inst. Of Neuroinformatics, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland ...a good general resource for digital imaging technologists... the author is clearly an expert in the field and has assembled a practical review of this technology. -Ray Fontaine, Chipworks, Inc., Ontario, Canada
