A CMOS IS (image sensor) has been widely applied in the multimedia field due to its unique features. One application of the CMOS IS in the microimage processing field is presented. An electronic eyepiece, mainly incorporating optical lens and a CMOS IS, is developed to digitize an optical image, process the digital signals and transmit them to a processor (i.e. computer). The digitized images are displayed in real time and stored off-line for post-mission analysis.An algorithm to process the image is adopted to extract features after the preprocessing operation. In this paper we will describe the system, introduce the structure ofeyepiece and discuss the preprocessing technique. Finally some results of feature extraction are given. The system has been applied in the microimage processing field and the availability has been verified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
