INTEGRATED HIGH-SPEED IMAGE SENSOR AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347314 titled 'INTEGRATED HIGH-SPEED IMAGE SENSOR AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an integrated high-speed image sensor that has several components and functions.
- The image sensor includes a pixel array, which is a grid of individual pixels that capture the image.
- The sensor also has a processor that can determine two regions of the pixel array: a region of interest (ROI) and a region of non-interest (RONI). The ROI is the part of the image that is important or relevant, while the RONI is the part that is not important or relevant.
- The sensor has an analog signal processing circuit that can read out the image data from the ROI at a first frame rate, which is the speed at which the image data is captured and processed. It can also read out the image data from the RONI at a second frame rate, which may be different from the first frame rate.
- The sensor includes a memory that stores the image data from both the ROI and the RONI.
Overall, this patent application describes an image sensor that can capture and process image data at high speeds, while also allowing for differentiation between important and unimportant parts of the image.
Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated high-speed image sensor includes a pixel array; a processor configured to determine a region of interest (ROI) and a region of non-interest (RONI) of the pixel array; an analog signal processing circuit configured to read out ROI image data at a first frame rate and read out RONI image data at a second frame rate; and a memory storing the ROI image data and the RONI image data.
