Abstract :
This paper introduces camera imaging module systems involving smaller pixel geometries. Lowering pixel size challenges improving system performance. In any imaging system engineering design, it is important to determine predictive response portfolio. This is studied in this paper using a theoretical model with the help of modulation functions. Predicted response of certain influencing individual subsystems of an imaging system are presented graphically using MATLAB scripts. An attempt is made to collect practical data to support these theoretical measurements. Challenges involved in these measurements are presented with recommendations for future improvement.
