摘要： An image sensor architecture with multi-bit sampling is implemented within an image sensor system. A pixel signal produced in response to light incident upon a photosensitive element is converted to a multiple-bit digital value representative of the pixel signal. If the pixel signal exceeds a sampling threshold, the photosensitive element is reset. During an image capture period, digital values associated with pixel signals that exceed a sampling threshold are accumulated into image data.

摘要： An image sensor that includes a pixel array with image pixels with conditional reset circuitry. The pixels can be reset by a combination of row select and column reset signals, which implements the reset function while minimizing the number of extra signal lines. The pixels may also include pinned photodiodes. The manner in which the pinned photodiodes are used reduces noise and allows the quantization of the pixel circuits to be programmable.

摘要： Methods and systems for increasing the effective dynamic range of an image sensor are disclosed. Each pixel in the sensor is exposed for a respective first exposure time. Each pixel's response to the respective first exposure is measured and compared to threshold values. Based on the pixel's response to the respective first exposure time, an optimal exposure is calculated for each pixel. The optimal exposure time is applied to each pixel by utilizing row-enabled and column-enabled signals at each pixel within the sensor.

摘要： Described is a multi-modal binary pixel sampling system incorporating a configurable sampler. The system includes an imaging pixel that outputs a series of reset and measurement values. The configurable sampler can extract image data from these values using correlated double sampling (CDS), non-correlated double sampling (NCDS), direct comparison sampling (DS), or a combination of these sampling modes. The configurable sampler is agile and may transition among modes during an exposure interval. Additional switches, storage elements, and reference nodes may be added to store additional measurements or calibration values.
