Where do companies fit in the $51bn camera module market?
“We have witnessed the Compact Camera Module (CCM) ecosystem’s increasing complexity and its significance with respect to the global microelectronics industry,” says Pierre Cambou, Activity Leader, Yole Développement. “CCMs, mainly developed for mobile phone applications, have become technological marvels. They bring together heterogeneous sub-components from the semiconductor industry, the optical industry in the f...
Camera sensor targets medical & industrial applications
A camera sensor for medical and industrial applications has been introduced by OmniVision Technologies. The 1/18" OV6946 CameraChipcaptures 400x400 pixel resolution images and video with outstanding colour fidelity in a compact 0.9x0.9mm package that consumes low power, making it a suitable camera solution for minimally-invasive, reusable endoscopy.
CMOS image sensors experience a growth spurt
After levelling off in the second half of the last decade, CMOS image sensors are in the midst of a strong new wave of growth, which is being driven by a broad range of applications and promises to lift worldwide sales to record-high levels each year through 2019, according to the 2015 edition of IC Insights’ O-S-D Report—A Market Analysis and Forecast for Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes.
HD sensor is 47% smaller than the previous generation
Designed for consumer applications, the OV9734 720p HD sensor has been introduced by OmniVision Technologies. Built on OmniVision’s PureCel technology, the sensor delivers premium quality images and video, while consuming significantly less power than previous generation image sensors, making it an attractive camera solution for slim notebooks, tablets, handsets and other mobile devices that require thin bezels.
Image sensor is designed to record during day & night
Designed for next-gen security and home monitoring applications, the OV9752 CameraChip sensor has been released by OmniVision Technologies. The 1/3" device captures HD images and video in 1280x960px resolution as well as IR information, providing outstanding scene reproduction regardless of lighting conditions. These benefits make the OV9752 a suitable camera solution for security systems designed to record during day and night.
Development platforms target power-sensitive embedded applications
Analog Deviceshas introduced two low-cost Blackfin processor-based development platforms, targeting demanding ultra-low-power, real-time applications for image sensing and advanced audio. The Blackfin Low Power Imaging Platform (BLIP) leverages the ADSP-BF707 Blackfin processor as well as Analog Devices’ optimised software libraries for video occupancy sensing.
