Formula of Image Area and Image Circle (Sensor)

Formula of Image Area and Image Circle (Sensor)

Image Area:
Resolution x Pixl Size = Image Area
(H) x (H) = (H)
(V) x (V) = (V)

Image Circle:
√(Image Area)²+(Image Circle)²= Image Circle Ø
H V D

Pixl	Size	Amount	Resolution	Sensitivity	Power Consumption
	Small	More	High	Low	More
	Large	Less	Low	High	Less

Frame Rate	Number	Image	Speed
	Small	Bright	Slow
	Large	Dark	Fast

Global vs Rolling Shutter

Global vs Rolling Shutter

Global Shutter
Means that all pixels of the array are exposed simultaneously.
Advantage
• No Distortion of straight lines with fast-moving subjects
• No limit on flash sync speed
Disadvantage
• More noise levels
• Lower frame rates
• Lower dynamic range

Rolling Shutter
Means that adjacent rows of the array are exposed at
slightly different times as the readout 'waves' sweep through each half of the sensor.
Advantage
• Lower noise levels
• Higher frame rates
• Higher dynamic range
Disadvantage
• Artifacts wit fast-moving subjects
• Limited flash sync speeds

A diagram comparing the advantages and disadvantages of Global Shutter and Rolling Shutter image sensors, highlighting the differences in image quality, distortion, and performance in various conditions.

Android 10 devices do NOT support USB camera connection.

Android 10 devices do NOT support UVC (USB Video Class) devices to be connected in the apps with targetSdkVersion API Level 28 and above.
From November 2019, all app updates on Google Play have been required to target API level 28 or higher.
(source: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/02/expanding-target-api-level-requirements.html) Therefore, for updating the app to Google Play, MISUMI should be API level 28 or higher. Android 10 smartphones CANNOT connect a USB camera like webcams, etc in the app from the Play Store. So far, we haven’t found any official documents form Google OS about these policy changes. We are looking for various ways to solve the issue and will share if there’s any updates.
