Image Sensors are used to capture images or video in digital format. They are commonly found in digital cameras, smartphones, security cameras, and various imaging systems. Image sensors convert light into electrical signals, allowing them to create digital representations of visual scenes. They come in different types such as CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor), each with its own advantages and applications.
Basic image sensors with lower resolutions and fewer features are generally more affordable. On the other hand, high-resolution sensors with advanced capabilities command higher prices, especially specialized sensors designed for industrial or scientific use.
When purchasing Image Sensors, determine the required resolution, sensor size, and sensitivity for your imaging needs. Consider the application environment and lighting conditions to ensure the sensor performs optimally.
