==METHOD OF BINNING IMAGE SENSOR, AND IMAGE SENSOR PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18093531 titled 'METHOD OF BINNING IMAGE SENSOR, AND IMAGE SENSOR PERFORMING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method of binning an image sensor to improve image quality. Binning is a process of combining multiple pixels into a single pixel to increase sensitivity and reduce noise.

* The method involves outputting analog pixel signals from a pixel array, which is a grid of pixels arranged in rows and columns.
* Binning is performed on the pixel array at a specific interval, combining adjacent pixels into a single pixel.
* The resulting binning image data is arranged in a matrix shape that is rotated by a given angle and repeated at a different interval.
* Binning sampling signals are generated based on the analog pixel signals and included in the binning image data.
* Finally, Bayer pattern image data is generated based on the binning image data, which represents the original image with improved quality.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed is a method of binning an image sensor, which includes outputting analog pixel signals by performing binning on a pixel array including a plurality of pixels having a first matrix shape and arranged in a row direction and a column direction repeatedly at a first interval, outputting binning image data including binning sampling signals having a second matrix shape, in which the first matrix shape is rotated by a given angle, and arranged repeatedly at a second interval different from the first interval, based on the analog pixel signals, and outputting Bayer pattern image data having the first matrix shape, based on the binning image data.
