Smartphone consumers can expect even more precise and clearer photos in dim light environments. CMOS image sensors will be implemented with the optimized pixel isolation technology to fetch these improvements.

In this context, Samsung states that the latest technology will lead to enhanced super-resolution mobile cameras. Although Samsung’s ISOCELL technology is a standard installation in smartphone sensors, it has announced the launch of its latest ISOCELL Plus technology. This technology guarantees enhanced color accuracy and light sensitivity from forthcoming smartphone cameras.

In the existing ISOCELL camera sensors, there is a physical metal barrier between pixels. The purpose of including this barrier is to decrease color cross-talk. However, the metal barrier poses a side-effect of reflecting or absorbing incoming light, which leads to reduced photo quality.

In the prevailing pixel structure, metal grids are created over the photodiodes to decrease interference between the pixels. This can also cause some optical loss as metals reflect and/or absorb the entering light. With the launch of the ISOCELL Plus, Samsung elevates the pixel isolation technology to a new level via optimized pixel architecture.

Essentially, the ISOCELL Plus technology substitutes that metal barrier with a fresh material developed by Fujifilm. This improves the photo quality by decreasing absorption/reflection and optical loss. Explicitly, Samsung claims a 15%improvement in light sensitivity and a boost in color fidelity.

To capture high-quality photographs, CMOS image sensors must hold maximum light as possible and then transmit the accurate color information to the photodiode. These requirements were solved by the launch of Samsung’s ISOCELL technology in 2013.

The formation of the physical barrier between adjacent pixels enables every pixel to absorb and retain more light than the traditional backside-illuminated (BSI) image sensor design for outstanding image quality.

The latest ISOCELL Plus Technology will benefit from higher resolution cameras:

ISOCELL Plus sensors will also be beneficial for higher resolution cameras. The company stated that the technology would permit 0.8 micron and smaller pixels. Therefore, it makes it perfect for super-resolution cameras with a resolution of more than 20 MP.

Most high-resolution smartphone cameras usually excel during the day but show poor performance at night. A large image sensor facilitates better night-time snaps (raising the phone’s thickness), pixel-binning (presenting brighter but lower-resolution snaps), or a dual-camera setup. But the Samsung’s latest ISOCELL Plus technology unlocks the door for another solution without compromising resolution or size.

This light-boosting technology can also benefit telephoto cameras, which usually depict poor performance in low light owing to their smaller apertures. Perhaps, it won’t present an extraordinary improvement in output quality at night. However, it can still be considered an improvement over existing telephoto zoom cameras.

In the context of this technology, Yanagihara, corporate vice president of Fujifilm, stated that they value their strategic relationship with Samsung. He added that this development is a noteworthy milestone for them because it records the first commercialization of their new material. He also stated that through constant cooperation with Samsung, Fujifilm expects to present more significant innovations to mobile cameras.

Ben K. Hur, the vice president of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics, said that with this collaboration with Fujifilm, an industry frontrunner in imaging and information technology, Samsung had elevated the boundaries of CMOS image sensor technology.

He added that the ISOCELL Plus technology would facilitate the development of ultra-high-resolution sensors with extraordinarily small pixel dimensions and convey performance advancements for the sensors with more significant pixel designs.

Samsung is exhibiting the tech at Mobile World Congress Shanghai (scheduled to conduct from June 27 to June 29). However, it hasn’t been declared when the first phones with ISOCELL Plus sensors will release. It is expected that we will soon have phones with this technology.

List of Sony Exmor R, RS Sensors Devices & Specifications

Exmor is the technology name that Sony employed on a few of their CMOS image sensors. Exmor carries out on-chip analog/digital signal conversion and two-step noise reduction in parallel on every column of the CMOS sensor.

It was October 2015 when Sony Semiconductor Solutions was recognized as a solely owned group company to strengthen the CMOS image sensor business and incorporate the semiconductor-related business procedures of Sony Group. After this incorporation, every Exmor sensor is designed and produced by the company.

It was May 14, 2020, when the Intelligent Vision Sensor was publicized with an intro. This preface stated that the Exmor is the first image sensor in the world to be implemented with AI processing functionality.

The latest new sensor differentiates itself from the earlier Exmor RS sensors through an AI processor and a memory that stores the AI models. This memory and processor are in a stacked logic layer for real-time image analysis and immediate metadata extraction from any raw image.

In that release, only model numbers were acknowledged; it was not verified whether the sensor holds a different name.

Sony Sensor Versions:

Exmor R is a back-illuminated version of the Sony CMOS image sensor. On June 11, 2008, Sony announced Exmor R. It was the world’s foremost machine-made implementation of back-illuminated sensor technology.

Furthermore, Sony claims that Exmor R is almost twice as sensitive as a standard front-illuminated sensor.

This active pixel sensor is found in many Sony cameras, mobile phones, and Apple’s iPhone 4s and 5. Formerly, Exmor R was restricted to smaller sensors for compact cameras, camcorders, and mobile phones.

However, on June 10, 2015, Sony ILCE-7RM2 full-frame camera was released. It, too, contains an Exmor R sensor.

Exmor RS is the first stacked CMOS image sensor in the world. Sony announced it on 20 August 2012. Successively, Sony proclaimed the foremost 3-layer stacked CMOS sensor and the same incorporated DRAM cell array in the center.

As soon as you install and set up the camera, you will begin enjoying a detailed 1080p video. The videos during the day are in color and are pretty vibrant and saturated. The night pictures, which are in black and white, are crisp enough and quite bright enough.

The motion alerts and mechanical pan and tilt operations are pretty responsive.

Pros

  • A very reasonable and affordable price
  • A sharper HD quality video
  • Responsive mechanical pan and tilt operations

Cons

  • No two-way audio feature
  • Cannot stream to smart audio devices

Ezviz C8C Lite – A Sneak Peek

Canon Inc, a Japanese multinational specializes in optical, imaging, and industrial products, such as camera lenses, DSLRs, medical equipment, optical scanners, printers, and semi-conductor manufacturing equipment.

Canon is not a company that shies away from exploring and experimenting with new-age technology. One such case in point should be the Dual Gain Output image sensor or the DGO image sensor launched with the C70 and other cinema cameras. Wondering what the new technology is all about? Let us explore the concept in finer detail.

The new technology – abbreviated DGO by Canon, was launched with the EOS C300 Mark III. The technology is relatively new and now is the time would explore the working of this technology and find how it improves your shooting experience. The technology has now been introduced on the Canon C70.

For those wondering what all the fuss about the Dual Gain Output Image sensor is, Canon has published a white paper that should help you understand the technical aspets.

The Super 35mm 4K Image Sensor ensures high-quality HDR imaging.

The Canon Cinema EOS (Cinema Electro-Optical System) autofocus digital photographic and cinematographic SLR and mirrorless switchable lens camera system was presented in late 2011 with the Canon EOS C300 and followed by the Canon EOS C500 and Canon EOS 1D C in 2012.

At the same time, the 35 mm format has been what has remained a strong option in moviemaking. Canon found the right combination of the two, and that is where the new digital cinematography lens-camera systems made an appearance.

Canon has gained years of experience in the Cinema EOS system of lenses, making them come with the new range of Dual Gain Output sensors.

The full-frame EOS C500 Mark II improved the Modularity, convertibility, and connectivity of the camera, making it one of the most unique options. The EOS C300 Mark III camera was further brought ahead of the technology.

The EOS C300 Mark III camera is almost identical to the EOS C500 Mark II. Still, it introduces the best performance with the new Super 35mm CMOS image sensor developed by Canon – the Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor.

You would find the sensor taking ahead of the best features available on the CMOS sensors. The white paper also mentions the 15-stop dynamic range of the recent Cinema EOS cameras, which has been extended to 16 stops system in the latest EOS C300 Mark III camera.

The Dual Gain Output Sensor – An overview

Image Source: Canon

Canon introduced the first Cinema EOS camera in 2011, and the technology has grown manifold. The first Cinema camera was based on Canon-developed 4K single CMOS image sensor with a Bayer color filter array, and the camera that introduced the concept was the EOS C300.

The sensor’s design strategy focused much on High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging. The sensor has 8-megapixel photosites utilizing two separate photodiodes designed to speed up the capture of the electrons. This effectively improves the effective dynamic range of the photosite.

The way the dual gain output sensor is achieving its 16 plus stops of total dynamic range is by reading out each photodiode.

The design of the photosites has been retained all through all the Cinema EOS cameras. This includes the 4K Super 35mm and the 5.9K full-frame systems.

The new sensor developed for the EOS C300 Mark III camera has other technology. First, you would have an extended dynamic range. You would find an analog amplifier within each of the multiple-column readout circuitries.

Since it is a narrow bandwidth amplifier, you would find it has a very negligible inherent noise. This will help enhance the electronic signal above the noise sources, and thus you get a better signal-to-noise advantage.

Canon states that the most dynamic range (16+ stops) can be accomplished when shooting at 800 ISO in Canon Log 2. If you shoot in Canon Log 3 then the dynamic range falls to 14 stops.

The DGO or Dual Gain Output sensor applies two distinct gain level settings to each photodiode signal output. This is further followed by exposure adjustment. The blend of the two signals will thus produce a final signal output with fully protected highlights, and noise enhanced lower region.

What new technologies lie under the 4K Super 35mm Image Sensor Dual Gain Output (DGO) Image Sensor?

The sensor is being deployed for an enhanced and improved new 4K cinematography camera technology. It utilizes two photodiodes that are deployed in a very strategic manner.

Each of the photodiodes can have the ability to expand the dynamic range efficiently, and the additional processing adds up to a further extension. This goes a long way in further promoting the dynamic range. This explains why the technology is called the Dual Gain Output (DGO) system.

Saturation prioritization

As seen in the case of the above image, you would find the noise sources positioned on either side of the column amplifier. The column amplifier has a very narrow bandwidth. This will ensure that it does not have any thermal noise.

As indicated in the image above, the total noise output is called Saturation prioritizing gain setting. In addition, an attempt is made on the sensor to recover the digital representation of the full dynamic range signal output from the image sensor.

Noise Prioritisation

The image above indicates the final noise output with the two sequential signal level adjustments. You would notice an elevation of the column amplifier to a high gain setting xG.

Attenuation of signal and noise follows this by a factor of xG in the digital domain. You will find that the noise sources are not amplified.

That would mean you will find that high gain elevation allows the signal to effectively “step over” the N2 noise sources. This phenomenon is termed as noise prioritizing gain setting.

How are Dual Gain Settings implemented on Each Photodiode Output?

The signals are sampled row by row in parallel column readout architectures when using the sensor. This is clearly shown in the following image.

The image would not need any further explanation. You would find that the process of dual gain is achieved through a time-multiplexed sequence.

The two signals are observed to move through the analog to digital conversion. This is done along with the exposure adjustment process. This will produce a replica of the input signal with higher signal-to-noise performance.

The final output would be the best HDR product of the Dual Gain Output (DGO) process. That way, you would find that all your highlights are detailed, but there is a considerable noise lowering.

That would mean you would get access to better HDR performance even in the darker scenes. It can also effectively minimize the visibility of those low-level readout artifacts.

The Concluding Thoughts

Canon has had a great experience in n HDR motion imaging. With that background knowledge, it has applied high-end technology by extending the exposure latitude in both regions above and below the reference 18% grey exposure.

List of the Best Security Cameras with SIM Card Slot

The security cameras with built-in SIM card slot are usually referred to as SIM cameras, cellular security cameras, LTE security cameras, or 4G security cameras. Inside these cameras, a slot is available to insert a SIM card.

They work on the 4G/3G phone network for wireless transmission of image and video signals. As a result, you can see real-time videos of any place without power and Wi-Fi on your phone (which can also transmit on Cloud storage facilities) from anywhere.

When it comes to their operations, they operate by connecting to a cellular phone network through a SIM card. The inserted SIM cards connect the camera to the Internet through the cellular networks of Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint.

Note that the SIM card will not permit your camera to connect to a standard Wi-Fi network in your home or office. The reason is it doesn’t contain a Wi-Fi adapter. So, it’s not like your smartphone because it includes both a Wi-Fi adapter and a SIM card.

Now let’s check out some related FAQs:
