Abstract
This chapter discusses the application of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors in the mobile market. The chapter first reviews the history and how innovation has overcome the limitations of core technologies to enable mobile imaging. A review of the CMOS image sensor architectures and product considerations provides insight into how the basic image sensor evolves to a smart camera imaging solution, featuring key functions beyond picture taking into full “imaging for information.” This includes the recent adoption of depth imaging solutions to quickly capture the scene's contextual information for use by computer vision applications within mobile devices. The chapter then discusses emerging technologies that will transform mobile imaging to enable unique and useful applications, which will fuel market growth and broaden the adoption of imaging technology across the globe.
