The number of bits used to hold a screen pixel. Also called "pixel depth" and "bit depth," the color depth is the maximum number of colors that can be displayed. True Color (24-bit color) is required ...

STMicroelectronics has launched a new family of high-resolution 0.5-megapixel (MP) indirect time-of-flight (iToF) sensors that deliver 3D depth imaging to smartphones and other devices. The first ...

Developments in CMOS image-sensor technology bring new light to applications for cameras and machine vision. Because of integrated signal processing and active pixels, products such as low-power ...

It’s true what they say — you never know what you can do until you try. Russell Kirsch, who developed the first digital image scanner and subsequently invented the pixel, was a firm believer in this ...
