Poll: How Are You Using Image Sensors in Your Projects and Prototypes

Image sensors are fabricated using metal-oxide-semiconductor technology and can be categorized into two types as per their pixel element: Charged Couple Device (CCD) and CMOS sensor. Image sensors are utilized in many different electronic devices, including cameras, medical equipment, thermal imaging equipment, and more.

    In the UK it's a complete extreme : ( As far as I understand (could be wrong) anything goes pretty much when it comes to camera/recording for residential premises, provided the camera is attached to a wall of the residence (i.e. not on a separate pole or tower or gate). No need for warning sign and no restriction on zoom or resolution, infra-red etc, or quantity of cameras. If it is not on a wall then other rules apply which I'm not aware of.

    For business premises it might be different, I don't know the rules for that either.

    Over here (Belgium) you can put a recording camera if it only captures your property.

    Doorbell and other cameras that show street and neighbours are allowed if they do not record.

    I don't know what privacy laws might apply, I won't be recording anything - it will be just like looking through the peephole that is already there.

    I have zero desire to review days of video - I just want to know who is at the door before I get up - since sometimes I can hardly walk.

    Are there privacy issues? In case you have clear view of your cross-the-street neighbour's property?

  • My next camera project will likely be a WiFi peephole camera for my front door. The main logistics issue is how to provide power.

  • This is an example of image sensor used with an infrared sensor to build a long range thermometer:

    and a short video:

     

  • I use Image sensors mostly for regular image taking, and a Pi Camera module for my Pis.

     

    I do, however, plan to use OpenCV and a NCS2 I have and also the Camera to do some object detection and perhaps even some more important use cases like plant disease detection.

     

    Aha, "On-Semiconductor", "Image Sensors," "tech Spotlight"

     

    I reckon this has something to do with that Ultra96 OnSemi Dual Camera maggezine they were considering road testing!

     

    AHA!
