Schedule, syllabus and examination date

Course content

The course will run as INF5441 with 10 credits this semester. Register on INF5440 and you will be moved to INF5441.

Image sensors are improving strongly and are utilized in digital cameras within many applications like mobile phones, digital still cameras (DSC) camcorders, in automotive and medical applications, and in industrial production.

The core of the digital camera is the array of light sensing elements pixels (picture element). The advantage with CMOS technology is that the image capturing array can be combined with complex electronic circuits on the same silicon chip in a standard fabrication process.

The course covers light sensitivity of silicon, signal readout methods, color interpolation and image processing, and introduction to optics.

Learning outcome

The student will understand the physical principles involved in image sensing, be able to design sensors with readout electronics, and gain basic knowledge in color and image processing.

Admission

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
