CMOS Sensors Drive Low-Light Applications
Oct 25, 2021 — Low-light cameras are designed with enhanced capabilities for recording images in settings with little to no illumination. These cameras perform well in poor lighting, in the dark, or with night vision. The fundamental components of a low-light camera are similar to those of a conventional camera, including lens, sensor, image processor, and optional additional IR cut filter. The two main types of sensors used in low-light cameras are CCD and CMOS sensors, which are both based on metal oxide
