CMOS camera

A digital still or video camera that uses a CMOS-based image sensor chip rather than a CCD to record the picture. The CMOS image sensors enable the integration of all required camera circuits onto the same chip, making them well suited for tiny cameras such as in PDAs and cellphones. Initially used in less expensive devices, the quality of CMOS sensors has improved steadily, and they have been incorporated into professional cameras. See CMOS image sensor, CCD, digital camera and X3.

Paraytec by Instrument Business Outlook He led the invention and development of the CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) camera-on-a-chip and subsequent transfer of the technology to U. PSA's 2003 progress medal honoree: Eric R. Fossum, Ph.D by Biedel, C. W. / PSA Journal Nakamura's selection for the Takayanagi Memorial Award for Encouragement was based upon a number of factors including his active pixel sensor research and development that preceded the concept of modern CMOS image sensors in the early 1990's; his invention of novel readout methods for active pixel sensors, and his leadership of the development of a CMOS image sensor for Super-Hi Vision (SHV) cameras.
