Patent number: 7738013Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods capable of reducing power consumption in an imaging device. One imaging device includes two analog to digital converters that are separately programmable and can be in different power modes. Each analog to digital converter is capable of creating an image derived from a pixel array that has a full field of view, but lower resolution.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2004Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tiberiu Galambos, Miriam Fraenkel, Ben Furman

Patent number: 7609305Abstract: Embodiments of the current invention provide for systems and methods for correcting shading effects in image sensors. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, embodiments of the current invention provide methods and systems for dynamically correcting shading effects for digitally converted outputs from individual pixels on a pixel array in the image sensor, wherein the shading correction may be calculated according to a function of an elliptical-type equation from the radial location of the pixel on the pixel array. In embodiments of the present invention, the correction is performed at the Bayer domain before demosaicing processing to provide for accuracy of shading correction and low power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2005Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eugene Fainstain, Shlomo Polonsky, Miriam Fraenkel, Yoav Lavi

Patent number: 7425933Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate in general to systems and methods for dynamically correcting color cross-talk and related color distortion in an image sensor. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, certain embodiments of the present invention relate to correcting pixel outputs from a pixel array in an image sensor at the Bayer domain for color cross-talk and/or green disparity using hyperbolically varying correction functions to dynamically derive color cross-talk correction factors using pixel location on the pixel array, a selected pixel output and related outputs from neighboring pixels on the image sensor prior to or synchronous with color interpolation.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2005Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: Samsung Semiconductor Israel R&D Center (SIRC)Inventors: Eugene Fainstain, Shlomo Polonsky, Miriam Fraenkel, Yoav Lavi
