Abstract
Electronic photography is entering a period of very significant technological change. Electronic photography systems of the 1980s utilized video resolution sensors, analog processing, analog storage and video resolution display and color hard copy. Electroic photography systems of the 1990s will utilize megapixel resolution capture, digital signal processing and compression, digital storage and high resolution color hard copy. The result will be vastly higher quality electronic images that begin to approach the quality levels of prints from silver halide images. In this paper, directions in image sensors and signal processing for electronic photography are outlined.
