Abstract

This paper presents our activities on smart VLSI opto-sensors for 3D vision. A description of the integrated devices jointly developed for industrial and scientific applications is given. All the sensors presented here have been fabricated using standard CMOS technology that allows the monolithic integration of photo-sensors, together with readout circuits, and digital signal processors
