8.2 Glossary 
AOI  is means the a
user-defined, rectangular area (a squa
common) on a CCD that is ex

user-defined area for 
measurement application for saving system 
images processing time. 
 
Bit Depth -The number of bits used to 
code a value (such as a pixel component) 
into an integer value. This is directly 
related to the number of levels that the 
value might have, such as 256 with an 
8-bit depth or 1,024 with a 10-bit depth.   
 
CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) – CMOS is a widely used type 
of semiconductor. CMOS semiconductors use both 
r than chips 
so they tend to be extremely inexpensive 
the trademark 'FireWire', in reference to it
NMOS (negative polarity) and PMOS (positive polarity) 
circuits. Since only one of the circuit types is on at any 
given time, CMOS chips require less powe
using just one type of transistor. CMOS traditionally 
consumes little power and can be fabricated on just 
n production line, 
about any standard silico
compared to CCD sensors.   
 
FireWire/1394 - The 1394 digital link 
standard was conceived in 1986 by 
technologists at Apple Computer, who chose 
spee s of operation. In 1995, the IEEE 
d
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) defined this standard is IEEE 1394. 
There are two IEEE 1394 standards in current market; 1394a for data transmission rates 
up to 400Mbps, and the other is IEEE 1394b; for data transmission rates up to 800Mbps.
