Exploring Camera Sensor Types – Sensors can be classified in several ways, such as structure type (CCD or CMOS), color type (color or monochrome), or shutter type (global or rolling shutter). They can also be classified by resolution, frame rate, pixel size and sensor format. Understanding these terms can help better understand which sensor is best for their application.

However they are classified, the purpose of image sensors is the same; to convert incoming light (photons) into an electrical signal that can be seen, analyzed or stored. Image sensors are semiconductor devices and serve as one of the most important …
