==IMAGE SENSOR WITH VARIABLE LENGTH OF PHASE DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18141515 titled 'IMAGE SENSOR WITH VARIABLE LENGTH OF PHASE DATA

==Simplified Explanation==

An image sensor is described in this patent application. The image sensor consists of a pixel array with multiple pixels arranged in rows and columns, as well as a read-out circuit that generates image data and phase data based on a sensing signal received from the pixel array. The resolution of the phase data output by the read-out circuit is determined by target area information for the pixel array, which is received from outside of the image sensor.

* The patent application describes an image sensor with adjustable resolution of phase data based on target area information.
* The image sensor includes a pixel array arranged in rows and columns, and a read-out circuit that generates image data and phase data.
* The read-out circuit receives a sensing signal from the pixel array and generates image data and phase data based on it.
* The resolution of the phase data output by the read-out circuit is determined by target area information received from outside of the image sensor.

== Potential Applications ==
* This technology can be applied in digital cameras and smartphones to improve image quality and focus accuracy.
* It can be used in surveillance systems to enhance object tracking and recognition capabilities.
* Medical imaging devices can benefit from this technology by providing more precise and detailed images.

== Problems Solved ==
* The adjustable resolution of phase data allows for better control and optimization of image processing algorithms.
* By adapting the resolution based on target area information, the image sensor can provide more accurate and reliable data for various applications.
* This technology solves the problem of fixed resolution in traditional image sensors, allowing for flexibility and customization.

== Benefits ==
* Improved image quality and focus accuracy in digital cameras and smartphones.
* Enhanced object tracking and recognition capabilities in surveillance systems.
* More precise and detailed medical imaging.
* Flexibility and customization in image sensor resolution.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image sensor includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged in a row direction and a column direction and a read-out circuit that generates image data and phase data based on a sensing signal received from the pixel array. The image sensor is configured the resolution of the phase data output by read-out circuit depending on target area information for the pixel array, the target area information received from outside of the image sensor.
