Abstract :
CMOS image sensors are now used in a variety of camera applications, such as mobile phones, camcorders, and digital still cameras (DSCs). In particular, most digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and so called “mirror-less” cameras that require a large-format sensor also employ CMOS image sensors due to their lower power consumption and higher readout speed compared to their CCD counterparts.
