In this paper, we numerically quantify the information capacity of a sensor, by examining the different factors than can limit this capacity, namely sensor spectral response, nois...
A method for evaluating texture quality as shot by a camera is presented. It is shown that usual sharpness measurements are not completely satisfying for this task. A new target b...
Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the ai...
Most digital cameras employ a spatial subsampling process, implemented as a color filter array (CFA), to capture color images. The choice of CFA patterns has a great impact on the...
We developed and implemented a flexible image pre-processing concept to achieve an image sub-system for top-end professional digital still camera applications that ensures the hig...

Under low illumination conditions, such as moonlight, there simply are not enough photons present to create a high quality color image with integration times that avoid camera-sha...
Holistic representations of natural scenes are an effective and powerful source of information for semantic classification and analysis of arbitrary images. Recently, the frequenc...

The lifetime of solid-state image sensors is limited by the appearance of defects, particularly hot-pixels, which we have previously shown to develop continuously over the sensor ...

We present a method to improve the validity of noise and resolution measurements on digital cameras. If non-linear adaptive noise reduction is part of the signal processing in the...
