pildiandur

Pildiandur is an Estonian term that translates to "image sensor" in English. It refers to a device that converts an optical image into an electrical signal. These sensors are fundamental components in digital cameras, scanners, and other imaging devices. The most common types of pildiandurid are charged-coupled devices (CCDs) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. Both technologies capture light using an array of photosensitive elements, often called pixels. When light strikes a pixel, it generates an electrical charge proportional to the intensity of the light. This charge is then read out and processed to form a digital image. CMOS sensors have become increasingly prevalent due to their lower power consumption, faster readout speeds, and lower manufacturing costs compared to CCD sensors. The quality and performance of a pildiandur are determined by factors such as pixel size, resolution, sensitivity to light (ISO), and dynamic range. Advances in pildiandur technology continue to improve image quality, enabling higher resolution, better low-light performance, and more sophisticated imaging capabilities in consumer electronics and professional equipment.
