This work is dedicated to CMOS based imaging with the emphasis on the noise modeling, characterization and optimization in order to contribute to the design of high performance imagers in general and range imagers in particular. CMOS is known to be superior to CCD due to its flexibility in terms of integration capabilities, but typically has to be enhanced to compete at parameters as for instance noise, dynamic range or spectral response. Temporal noise is an important topic, since it is one of the most crucial parameters that ultimately limits the performance and cannot be corrected. This…mehr

This work is dedicated to CMOS based imaging with the emphasis on the noise modeling, characterization and optimization in order to contribute to the design of high performance imagers in general and range imagers in particular. CMOS is known to be superior to CCD due to its flexibility in terms of integration capabilities, but typically has to be enhanced to compete at parameters as for instance noise, dynamic range or spectral response. Temporal noise is an important topic, since it is one of the most crucial parameters that ultimately limits the performance and cannot be corrected. This work gathers the widespread theory on noise and extends the theory by a non-rigorous but potentially computing efficient algorithm to estimate noise in time sampled systems. This work contributed to two generations of LDPD based ToF range image sensors and proposed a new approach to implement the MSI PM ToF principle. This was verified to yield a significantly faster charge transfer, better linearity, dark current and matching performance. A non-linear and time-variant model is provided that takes into account undesired phenomena such as finite charge transfer speed and a parasitic sensitivity to light when the shutters should remain OFF, to allow for investigations of largesignal characteristics, sensitivity and precision. It was demonstrated that the model converges to a standard photodetector model and properly resembles the measurements. Finally the impact of these undesired phenomena on the range measurement performance is demonstrated.

Autorenporträt
Andreas Süss received his BSc from the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf in 2008 and a PhD degree from the University of Duisburg-Essen in 2014. From 2007 until 2014 he was affiliated to the Fraunhofer Institute IMS where he was working mainly on high-speed, low-noise imagers for e.g. ToF applications. From 2014 until 2015 he had a scholarship from the KU Leuven and worked as a postdoctoral researcher on global shutter imaging at the MICAS department in collaboration with IMEC, Leuven. As of 2015 he is hired as an R&D engineer in the IMEC imaging division, where he is currently responsible for the pixel development for global shutter and high-speed applications. His research interests include modeling, temporal noise, optimization, compressed sensing and depth imaging.
