Definitions for "Image Sensor"
An electronic sensor used to gather the image data.
The type of device used in digital camera and camcorders to capture an image. The 2 most common types are known as CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor)
An electronic device capable of reacting to the impact of photons, converting them to an electrical current that is then passed on to the A-D converter. The most commonly image sensors used in digital imaging are CCD, CMD and CMOS.
a device that converts the brightness and color of a captured scene into electronic signals
A solid-state device containing a photosite for each pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light that strikes it during an exposure.
a bit like a radio antenna
