Patent “Enhanced dynamic range imaging” granted
US patent US10.497.737 entitled “enhanced dynamic range imaging” was granted on Dec 3, 2019. It describes a pixel and methods to reach a very high dynamic range (HDR) by integrating the same photo charge on multiple capacitors synchronously. The concept
Creative Collaboration resulted in a new paradigm in neural recording
Our expertise on low noise readout circuits lead to the collaboration with the Californian med-tech startup Paradromics. Caeleste developed a Read-Out Integrated Circuit system for a neural sensor which has an extremely challenging noise requirement to be able to read
Crane needed to move climate chamber into the Caeleste characterization lab.
We know what matters for our tests: reliable, precise and reproducible results. When testing sensors, you must adhere to numerous test standards and carry out long-term tests. The LabEvent T/210/70/3 (WeissTechnik) climate chamber allows to cool or heat the environment
Caeleste will be presenting three papers at CMOS Image Sensors Workshop – Toulouse 26 & 27 November 2019
At the annual “Space & Scientific CMOS Image Sensors” workhop, Toulouse on November 26th and 27th 2019, Caeleste will present three papers. A fourth paper where Caeleste is co-author is presented by CSEM. The Toulouse workshop is considered as the
Caeleste welcomed students and professors from TsingHua University
Four professors and nine students (under the leadership of prof. Feng) from Tsinghua University (THU) visited Caeleste on 21 August. We had an informal workshop on electronic design research. The TSU students presented work on high-speed SAR ADC, Delta-Sigma modula
ELFIS first “true HDR” movie
This is a follow-up of the new sitem of April 2019 on ELFIS first true HDR image The ELFIS imager is the first image sensor ever combining following features: True HDR or “MAF HDR”, motion artifact free HDR Global shutter
Patent US10284824 granted
Patent US10284824, filed 2017 Jan 22, was granted on 2019 May 7. It describes and protects a concept to break the data volume barrier as we encounter it in ultra-high-speed image sensors. Aggregated pixel rates nowadays exceed 10 Gigapixels/second and
Posthumous book of Arnaud Darmont on HDR imaging
When he passed away last year, Arnaud Darmont was finalizing the 2nd edition of is well-known book on HDR imaging. The book is now available at SPIE: http://www.spie.org/Publications/Book/2512263 Arnaud was befriended with many of Caeleste. He was considered an expert
Two Caeleste papers at IISW 2019
At the International Image Sensor Workshop, June 2019, Utah, USA, Caeleste will present two papers on advanced CMOS image sensors. Peng Gao, design team leader at Caeleste will present the paper “16.7Mpixel 8000fps sparse binarized scientific image sensor” by Peng
