Description
Most image sensors mimic film, integrating light during an
exposure interval and then reading the "latent" image as a
complete frame. This model causes a variety of problems in both
still and video capture, including reduction in dynamic range,
constraints on the exposure interval, and framerate-related
motion artifacts.
We propose to solve these problems by developing a new approach,
time domain continuous imaging (TDCI), in which a continuous
waveform is constructed for each sensel describing how the light
level at the position changes over time. The ideal
implementation of TDCI would use a massively-parallel array of
nanocontrollers, each dedicated to sampling the sensel
fabricated above it to create and compress a smooth waveform.
Under this proposal, we would create and evaluate TDCI
implementations using both simulation with conventional sensors
and prototypes of new sensors.
