Abstract

The ultimate purpose of the image sensor is to obtain the clear image, especially the clear image we see. However, the jaggy which appears at the edge of the object in the image, which is composed of some pair of pixels, becomes the serious factor to defect the clearness of the image. This paper describes the design and preliminary evaluation of CMOS image sensor with pseudorandom pixel placement aimed to decrease the jaggy effect by arranging the pixels pseudorandomly, providing a potential solution to enhancing image clarity.
