Chapter 255: The COMS Lens is Born

The impact of the 1 billion dividend has slowly reflected its power, and now it has become extremely easy for each laboratory to recruit, and it has achieved the absolute best of the best.

The company is developing rapidly, and the current personnel are sufficient, and Li Guocheng has become a shopkeeper again. Only the monthly performance communication with the executives is thunderous.

With the experience of later generations, he will never test human nature, leave no room for people to do wrong, and let them have no chance from the beginning.

All the performance communication with senior executives, Li Guocheng values it more than anything else.

It's better to say it than to have a good performance. Performance speaks for itself, and his plan can't fool anyone. So he built a profile for everybody.

You can say whatever you want, as long as you dare to say it, but the performance data statistics table and analysis curve will tell Li Guocheng who is really doing things and who is messing around.

Fortunately, the company is very young, and everyone now has a higher pursuit, and these analysis curves show that everyone is working very hard, and the performance has also increased significantly.

Before, he was manually entered, manually counted, and manually analyzed, and the computer was only assisted.

Now I have written a small program, data statistics and analysis are all automatic, and the data will be tracked for a long time, and the abnormality will be marked with a red alarm.

This allows him to trust the company to others without worrying about being overturned or having his funds transferred. People can lie, data doesn't.

Solving the possible problems in the company's management, Li Guocheng turned his energy back to technical research.

In 1970, the CCD image sensor was invented in the Bell laboratory and became the dominant image sensor market due to its high quantum efficiency, high sensitivity, low dark current, high consistency, and low noise.

At the end of the 90s, we entered the CMOS era.

The CCD manufacturing process is more complex, and the price of cameras using CCD will be relatively expensive. In fact, after technological transformation, the gap between the actual effect of CCD and CMOS has been reduced a lot.

Moreover, the manufacturing cost and power consumption of CMOS are much lower than that of CCD, so many camera manufacturers use CMOS image sensors.

Imaging: Under the same pixel, the imaging transparency and sharpness of CCD are very good, and the color reproduction and exposure can ensure basic accuracy.

CMOS products tend to have general permeability, weak color reproduction ability to the physical object, and the exposure is not very good, due to their own physical characteristics, CMOS imaging quality and CCD are still a certain distance.

However, due to the low price and high degree of integration, it is still widely used in the field of cameras.

After many considerations, Li Guocheng decided to develop COMS lenses in advance, after all, the patent of CCD has been applied, so he chose to change the track.

At the request of Li Guocheng and the provision of technical ideas, the semiconductor laboratory finally developed a CMOS lens half a month ago, but unfortunately it was only a black and white lens.

Their next research direction is to add color filters to the color RGB mode split lens.

The resolution of the first version of the COMS lens was only 480*600, but the volume was the size of a rotor. There is no way, they are now manually designed, hand-engraved.

Since each pixel of the CMOS contains an amplifier and an A/D conversion circuit, too many additional devices compress the surface area of the photosensitive area of a single pixel.

If it is measured in megapixels, then more than a million ADC amplifiers are required.

Although it is a product made under the same uniform, there are more or less slight differences in each amplifier, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of amplification and synchronization, and the final noise calculated by CMOS is relatively large.

But Mr. Lee is confident that he will slowly close those gaps.

Patents have been applied for, covering all aspects of subsequent applications, lens appearance, lens performance, interface, etc.

Now Li Guocheng is using miniature carving and multi-layer technology to compress, which has now become the size of a matchbox. After testing and comparing, the noise is reduced by 10 percentage points compared to the first version.

When I was about to continue the compression, I got a notice that Sam's visa was processed.

took the passport from the secretary Chen Yuhe and came to Chen Li's office.

"The visa has been processed, I am ready to leave in a week, there are some personal matters that need to be dealt with, and it is inconvenient to take your mother and daughter."

"Oh, I told you once, I know. Besides, the company can't do without me", Chen Li did not complain.

"When the company develops for another period and the company's talents grow, we can travel together."

"I said a long time ago that I will not interfere in your private life. And who you are, I already knew. If you were a mess of people, there are so many beautiful girls in the company, you would have hugged each other a long time ago."

Li Guocheng stepped forward, hugged her hard, and kissed her on the forehead.

"I'll try to come back as soon as possible, what do you want? I'll bring it to you".

"Seeing you like this, I'll just make a request, just bring me some cosmetics."

"Okay".

Li Guocheng, who returned to the office, didn't need to prepare anything, now there is 1W US dollars in the secret realm, and there is nothing to buy, where should it be enough.

Since there is no need to prepare, let's continue to work on COMS lenses.

A week is not enough, just to write image processing software, the main functions are image encoding compression and image enhancement and restoration.

Image encoding and compression technology reduces the amount of data (i.e., the number of bits) that describes an image, thereby saving image transfer, processing time, and reducing the amount of memory occupied.

The purpose of image enhancement and restoration is to improve the quality of the image, such as removing noise, improving the clarity of the image, etc. Image enhancement does not take into account the cause of image degradation and highlights the parts of the image that are of interest.

These features are very mature in later generations, and the basic principles can be obtained as long as they are interested.

The simple principle of the above two functions is that most of the adjacent pixels have the same value, and the changes are also gradual. According to a set tolerance value, take the pixel value of the tolerance range as the middle value.

In the case of compression, it is to record how many pixels are close to each other, and thousands of pixels can be represented by a single point.

After the software was written, it was almost the departure date.

Putting the latest Sam's Country newspapers collected by Chen Yuhe into the space, he took a big trolley case and a small backpack and rushed to Kai Tak International Airport in Chen Li's car.

Boarding smoothly with a ticket, the seat is economy class. Chen Li originally wanted to buy first class, but was told that there were no seats available. But waiting for the plane to take off, through telekinesis, Li Guocheng found that there were empty seats in the first class.

Li Guocheng is not hypocritical, after all, the purpose of going to Sam's Country this time is to study, and try not to cause trouble. At most, when you study, work hard and learn more.

If the other party is enthusiastic, you can also reluctantly accept some gifts.

His seat was close to the engine, and the two seats inside looked like a mother-daughter duo. The mother is almost in her 30s, dignified, elegant, and a standard beauty.

The youngest daughter is almost 5 years old, very polite, and when she saw Li Guocheng sitting down, she took the initiative to call 'Uncle'.
