imaging sensors

Imaging sensors are electronic devices that convert light into electrical signals, enabling the capture of images in cameras and smartphones. They work by detecting light photons, which create an electric charge in their pixels, generating a digital representation of the scene. There are various types of sensors, including CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor), each with unique advantages in terms of quality, speed, and power consumption. These sensors play a crucial role in photography, video recording, and even medical imaging, shaping how we capture and view the world around us.
