CAMERA MODULE FOR CALIBRATING IMAGE DATA, OPERATING METHOD OF CAMERA MODULE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CAMERA MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18125872 titled 'CAMERA MODULE FOR CALIBRATING IMAGE DATA, OPERATING METHOD OF CAMERA MODULE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING CAMERA MODULE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a camera module with an image sensor that can capture raw image data from light incidents from a display or the exterior, and control logic that processes this data to generate image data.

  • The control logic can operate in two modes:
 * In the first mode, calibration of the image sensor is turned off, and crosstalk calibration data is generated based on raw image data from the display.
 * In the second mode, calibration is turned on, and image data is generated based on raw image data from both the display and the exterior.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a camera module which includes an image sensor including pixels outputting raw image data based on light incident from at least one of a display or the exterior, and control logic receiving the raw image data and generating image data. In a first operation mode, the control logic turns off calibration of the image sensor, receives first raw image data, which are based on the light incident from the display, from the image sensor, and generates crosstalk calibration data based on first output values included in the first raw image data. In a second operation mode, the control logic turns on the calibration of the image sensor, receives second raw image data, which are based on light incident from the display and the exterior, from the image sensor, and generates the image data based on second output values included in the second raw image data.
