  • Publication number: 20230188872
    Abstract: In a sensing device that retains a code indicating access destinations, a data amount of the code is reduced. In a pixel array unit, a plurality of areas each include a predetermined number of pixels are arrayed. A reference access code retention unit retains a reference access code for designating, as access destinations, some of the pixels in a specific area among the plurality of areas. A non-reference access code generation unit generates a non-reference access code for designating, as access destinations, the pixels in an area which does not correspond to the specific areas among the plurality of areas from the reference access code. A signal processing unit generates pixel data of pixels designated with the reference access code and the non-reference access code.

  • Publication number: 20220038650
    Abstract: Power consumption of an imaging element which outputs only a region of interest (ROI) at high resolution is reduced. In a two-dimensional pixel array in which pixel rows arranged in a predetermined direction are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, the imaging element performs imaging at high resolution for a first pixel row including a predetermined region and performs imaging at low resolution for a second pixel row other than this. The first image processing unit generates an image of a predetermined region on the basis of an imaging signal of the first pixel row. A pixel adding unit performs an adding process between pixels on the imaging signal of the first pixel row to make resolution the same as resolution of the imaging signal of the second pixel row. The second image processing unit generates an image of an entire region on the basis of the imaging signal of the second pixel row and the imaging signal of the first pixel row subjected to the adding process.
