Sensor-Format

Sensors of different shapes and sizes are used in image processing and surveillance technology.

On one hand the sensors have a different ratio of width to height,
for example z.B. 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10

On the other hand, the sensor size differs, that is described by the sensor diagonal
