CMOS Image Sensors

The Electronic Imaging department designs customer-specific camera systems for industrial and medical imaging applications as well as for the film and broadcast markets. Our areas of expertise cover the entire signal chain, starting with the image sensor, to the design of custom-tailored image processing algorithms, the development of signal processing hardware and software and finally, software for intelligent image analysis.

In developing CMOS image sensors we collaborate closely with other departments, other Fraunhofer Institutes and external partners.

Core competencies in image sensors:

  • specification
  • concept development
  • initial setup and operation
  • evaluation
  • application
  • structural design
  • casing
  • thermal management
