As the number of imaging pixels in camera phones increases, users expect camera phone image quality to be comparable to digital still cameras. The mobile imaging industry is aware...

In this paper we present an approach to extend the Depth-of-Field (DoF) for cell phone miniature camera by concurrently optimizing optical system and post-capture digital processi...
In this paper we present a technique which infers interframe motion by tracking SIFT features through consecutive frames: feature points are detected and their stability is evalua...

In this paper, we present a novel method for generating a background model from a sequence of images with moving objects. Our approach is based on non-parametric statistics and ro...
A new-generation full-frame 36x48 mm2 48Mp CCD image sensor with vertical anti-blooming for professional digital still camera applications is developed by means of the so-called b...

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...
