Charged coupled device (CCD) is a unique type of camera sensor pco.imaging CCD cameras. CCD cameras are one of the most commonly used camera sensors. CCD sensors’ greatest advantage is that the stability of the image captured. The CCD sensor works like a ‘Bucket analogy”; this technology ensures every pixel is measured in the identical same way. The use of a single readout amplifier makes the readout process extremely consistent. This produces high-quality data with low fixed pattern noise and reads noise. This ensures there’s no wasted space in the pixels.
