Abstract:
An apparatus includes an image sensor having a light sensing region, the light sensing region being partitioned into a plurality of sub-regions, a first sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions has a first size, a second sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions has a second size different from the first size, and the second sub-region partially overlaps with the first sub-region. The apparatus further includes a processor coupled with the image sensor, wherein the processor includes a plurality of pixel processing units, and each processing unit of the plurality of processing units is configured to generate a processed image based on an image captured by a corresponding sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions. The apparatus further includes a plurality of lenses configured to focus incident light onto the image sensor.
