Abstract :
This paper discusses in-sensor decorrelation schemes for infrared applications. These applications require high image quality and low power consumption. Different scenarios involving analog and digital Haar discrete wavelet transform implementations are compared to classical quantization. High level modeling of image sensor shows that a simple decorrelation scheme can reduce column level power consumption while keeping high image quality.
