Abstract

This paper focuses on the development of Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor and its applications in aerospace, medical and automotive fields. Firstly, the representative events in history and the contributions of some companies to CMOS image sensor are described. Subsequently, some characteristics of CMOS image sensor are analyzed in the image field involved. In order to evaluate the performance of CMOS image sensor, single even effect and electronic endoscope structures are analyzed and active and passive range finder experiments are carried out. The results show that the imaging based on CMOS sensor can fully meet the requirements of imaging applications in many fields.

Keywords:
