A compact and fully integrated, high-frame-rate and high-resoluuon digital image acquisitionand analysis system has been developed. The system integrates highspeed data acquisition, imageplayback, image processing, and motion analysis features. The imaging device, a multiport, split-frame-transfer, backside-illuminated charge-coupled device (CCD) imager developed by the ArmyResearch Laboratory (ARL) and the David Sarnoff Research Center, enables system operation at upto 500 frames per second. The system design is described and CCD performance results are given.Keywords: image processing, electronic imaging, charge-coupled device 1. INTRODUCTIONOptical signal-processing systems and certain imaging applications require photodetectorarrays with high dynamic range and fast frame-rate capabifities. As part of an API program foroptical signal-pmcessing systems, 512 x 512 and 1024 x 1024 pixel multiport imagers were developed. The designs focused on readout structures to maximize speed and reduce noise, improveimager resolution through crosstalk reduction and increased fill-factor, and maximize dynamic range |
