Understanding White Balance

Posted by userAlpha1 on in Digital cameras

Understanding White Balance – You probably never think about it this way, but light comes in different temperatures. This is mainly because human eyes have an extraordinary ability to adapt to all the light conditions we experience at the time.

For example, think about different light bulbs you may have seen in use in your home. Some bulbs produced white (cool) light, while others produced a more yellow (warm) light. If you were to stand in a room with cool white light and look at plain paper, your brain would recognize that paper as white. If you tried the same thing in a room lit with warm yellow light, your brain would still recognize the paper as white. This shows that your eyes and brain are able to make the adjustment automatically, without you even having to try.

Exploring Camera Sensor Types

Posted by userAlpha1 on in Digital cameras

Exploring Camera Sensor Types – Sensors can be classified in several ways, such as structure type (CCD or CMOS), color type (color or monochrome), or shutter type (global or rolling shutter). They can also be classified by resolution, frame rate, pixel size and sensor format. Understanding these terms can help better understand which sensor is best for their application.

However they are classified, the purpose of image sensors is the same; to convert incoming light (photons) into an electrical signal that can be seen, analyzed or stored. Image sensors are semiconductor devices and serve as one of the most important components inside a machine vision camera. New types of sensors are produced every year with improvements in sensor size, resolution, speed and light sensitivity. In this article, we look at some of the basics of the image sensor technology found inside machine vision cameras and how they relate to their … Read the rest
