ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 13 -- Takashi Takahashi, Hiroyuki Matsumoto, Teruyuki Odaka, Masashi Nakamura and Koji Shida, all from Takasaki, Japan, have developed an image sensor system using a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor.
According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, the invention relates to an "image sensor such as the conventional CMOS image sensor, in which automatic controls including so-called automatic iris control and white balance adjustment for adjusting the sensor sensitivity, namely the charge accumulation time in each pixel, according to the brightness of the image sensing ambience are performed, involves the problem that, when the frame rate of ...
