Abstract
The contribution describes an "intraocular vision aid (IOVA)" system for patients suffering from corneal opacification. In order to gain patients' acceptance the system has to be miniaturized to a magnitude that image aquisition, image processing, and power supply can be integrated into a portable unit. A CMOS camera whose dynamic range covers more than 100 dB takes pictures of the scenery. Its image sensor has a resolution of 380 x 300 pixel. In order to reduce fixed pattern noise correlated double sampling is implemented on-chip. In addition, this sensor stands out for low power consuption, random pixel access, and local brightness adaptation. An analog-digital-converter allows direct coupling to an external signal processor or a monolithically integrated unit for image processing to compress data.
