Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed of a process for high dynamic range (HDR) images using an image sensor with pixel array comprising a plurality of pixels to capture a first image having a first exposure time, a second image having a second exposure time, and a third image having a third exposure time, wherein of the first, second, and third exposure times the second exposure time is the shortest. The first, second, and third images are combined into a high-dynamic-range (HDR) image. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
Reducing consumption of image sensor processor bandwidth includes capturing an image containing subject matter with an image sensor and cropping the image to generate a cropped image. Cropping the image is performed by the image sensor in response to coordinates received from an image sensor processor. The cropped image is sent from the image sensor to the image sensor processor and new coordinates based on a position of the subject matter in the cropped image are determined with the image sensor processor. The new coordinates are then sent to the image sensor.
Abstract:
A CMOS imaging system is capable of self-calibrating to correct for lens shading by use of images captured in the normal environment of use, apart from a production calibration facility.
