Abstract
The live demonstration shows the prototype of image recombination and processing system for one-dimensional multi-strip CMOS image sensors (CISs.) The proposed final system is discussed in the main paper, which takes advantage of the satellites' linear moving property to control the exposure time of CIS and provides the real-time ability to generate 11,200 N high-resolution image for satellites' remote sensing applications. The prototype, which contains four strip CISs, is implemented to verify functionality and capability of real-time image acquisition and combination. The implementation result shows the proposed system, which demands four times larger throughput than the prototype, is feasible in a chip. © 2011 IEEE.
