A rapidly emerging technology is challenging the vidicon camera's supremacy in image capture. As mentioned, CCD cameras use a solid state image-sensing element called a charge-coupled device.... The CCD camera's silicon array sensors can align each pixel sensor much more accurately than can conventional vidicon image sensors. This positional accuracy reduces geometric distortion.

Caméra qui utilise un capteur d'imagerie à couplage semi-conducteur plutôt qu'un tube à vide (Vidicon, Newvicon ou Ultracon, etc.).

OBS

La technologie CCD (dispositif à transfert de charge) enregistre les données-images sur une puce qui permet d'obtenir des résolutions élevées et d'associer à la caméra un éclairage impulsionnel rendant possible la prise de vue d'une image en déplacement à grande vitesse.
