20100231771 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR HIGH DYNAMIC OPERATION OF A PIXEL CELL - A pixel circuit providing high dynamic operation, and methods of operating the pixel circuit providing for high dynamic operation. Methods include a lateral overflow and a double exposure mode, and a pixel output signal is determined according to whether a photosensor of the pixel circuit is saturated. | 09-16-2010 |
20120219235 | BLOOMING FILTER FOR MULTIPLE EXPOSURE HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE SENSORS - Multiple-exposure high dynamic range image processing may be performed that filters pixel values that are distorted by blooming from nearby saturated pixels. Pixel values that are near saturated pixels may be identified as pixels that may be affected by blooming. The contributions from those pixels may be minimized when producing a final image. Multiple-exposure images may be linearly combined to produce a final high dynamic range image. Pixel values that may be distorted by blooming may be given less weight in the linear combination. | 08-30-2012 |
20130075584 | IMAGER ROW CONTROL-SIGNAL TESTER - Row-control signal monitoring system for an electronic imager includes signal processing circuitry coupled a pixel array of the electronic imager which receives at least one row control signal from the pixel array and provides an output signal corresponding to the selected row control signal. Monitoring circuitry compares the output signal to a target value to test the at least one row-control signal. | 03-28-2013 |
20130083236 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR IMPROVING DYNAMIC RANGE IN IMAGE SENSORS - Methods and devices for improving dynamic range in image sensors are disclosed. An image sensing device comprises an image sensor having a plurality of rows of pixels, and a controller for controlling the exposure of each row of pixels. The controller is programmed to perform a shutter operation for one of the plurality of rows of pixels, and to sample the one of the plurality of rows after a predetermined duration following the performance of the shutter operation. The predetermined duration is different from a multiple of a row time period of the image sensing device. | 04-04-2013 |
20130308029 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PIXEL CONTROL SIGNAL VERIFICATION - Imaging systems may be provided with image sensors having an array of image pixels coupled to row control circuitry and verification circuitry. The row control circuitry may provide row control signals to the image pixels for capturing image data. The verification circuitry may receive the row control signals through the array of image pixels. The verification circuitry may identify predetermined ranges of acceptable row control signal magnitudes based on the type of row control signal and the mode of operation of the image sensor. The verification circuitry may be configured to compare row control signal magnitudes to the predetermined acceptable ranges. If the row control signal magnitudes are outside of one or more of the predetermined ranges, circuitry in the imaging system may be shut off and/or a fault signal such as an audible or visible failure alert signal may be produced for an operator of imaging system. | 11-21-2013 |
