... other hand, the performance Origin can demonstrate today is several generations ahead of the best we’ve seen from other technologies and architectures, and Origin’s design team is forging ... of experience in CCD and CMOS imager design. Given the demands and limitations of the situation, we determined that the best image sensor design for our purposes was (and still is) a frame-transfer ... CCD and CMOS image sensors operate by exploiting the photoelectric effect to convert light into electricity, and all CCDs and CMOS imagers must perform the same basic functions: generate and...
