The UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA) will be contributing to the seminar/workshop activities at the new Sensing Technology exhibition which will be taking place at the NEC, Birmingham, UK on 28-29 September. This new sensing exhibition will be showcasing the latest sensing and related technologies and innovations for applications in science, commerce and industry.
UKIVA will be presenting a seminar entitled: 'Advances in imaging CMOS sensors' on 28 September at 11am. Various UKIVA members are contributing material for this presentation which will show how different CMOS architectures can be used to produce imaging sensors with a huge variety of capabilities. At least one member from the UKIVA academic community will also provide information on latest developments that can be expected using this technology.
CMOS sensors are extraordinarily versatile, ranging from very small to Megapixel resolution, from very fast response to very long exposure, from linear to log/lin and can also offer very high dynamic range. Sensor read-out options for area scan sensors include full frame to selected area read-out only (unlike CCDs which must be fully read out even if not processed). Line-scan options are also available.
UKIVA members will also participate in a workshop following the presentation, for anyone who is interested to find out more about the technologies discussed.
