Just a few years back I talked about a "CCD" to one of my brothers who had worked as an electrical engineer at Micron. I made a comment about the "CCD" in my camera. He gave me all sorts of trouble. "Nobody is using CCDs anymore. They're using CMOS, or maybe ... " and then went into more specifics. So anyway, I appreciate the info for future brother-related use.
Bro binary is a bad idea! Imagine a grid of pixels each producing a binary response-you'll get an image of pure black vs. white! Like a chess board. Instead you want each little square to read out the voltage as a continuous value. So that high voltage means that place is very light, and low voltage very dark, and medium voltage about half grey.
@@oosmanbeekawoo "Bro binary is a bad idea! Imagine a grid of pixels each producing a binary response-you'll get an image of pure black vs. white! Like a chess board." that's not how it happens. A 10 bit ADC it can represent 2^10=1024 discrete digital values so each photodiode can represent light intensity /analog signal with 1024 different levels or gradation.
