CCD > Binning > faster readout speeds and improved signal to noise ratios

Last updated at Posted at 2017-06-20

CMOSカメラでBinning modeというのがあり、何をしているか調べた。
以下の資料はCCDでの例である。

Binning allows charges from adjacent pixels to be combined and this can offer benefits in faster readout speeds and improved signal to noise ratios albeit at the expense of reduced spatial resolution.

以下の二者での比較もしている

  • single pixel readout
  • binning operation

図の左側がsingle pixel readout、右側がbinning operation。

Signal to noise ratioについては

Even if we subsequently sum the four pixels in a computer after readout the signal to noise ratio becomes 4:1. In adding the four pixels we sum the signal (4 times 20e i.e. 80e) and the noise is added in quadrature i.e. square root of the sum of the noises squared (square root of 4 times 10 squared i.e. 20e). In the binned example there is no noise until the signal is readout by the amplifier so the signal to noise ratio is 8:1(80e/10e) i.e. twice as good as the single pixel readout mode.

ノイズがどの時点で混入するかというとreadoutの時点。
binningを行う利点はここにあるようだ。

  • single pixel readoutを4回足した場合は 4:1
  • binning operationの場合は 8:1
