Abstract :
High dynamic range CMOS (HDRCreg) imager technology is reviewed in this paper. Specific aspects of pixel cell layout and circuit/system design, based on which this CMOS imager concept is fully exploited, are highlighted. Various specific applications of HDRCreg are illustrated and future directions are indicated
