The VISion senSOR (VISOR) Laboratory at York University designs and fabricates single-chip electronic cameras, such as CMOS Active Pixel Sensors (APS). We use a combination of system and device level design to develop innovative cameras for a wide range of applications, including space systems, industrial inspection, machine vision, and vision rehabilitation. Details are to be found in the research and publications sections.

Design and testing of the fabricated cameras is performed in-house by the group members. Access to fabrication services are provided by the Canadian Microelectronics Corporation. Details of the CAD software can be found here. We are a Cadence University Program Member.

The VISOR Lab is directed by Richard Hornsey and is part of York's Centre for Vision Research and is located in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
