Abstract: A control method of a high gain image sensor is provided. A column bias current source and a column PMOS amplifier transistor are provided in a column signal readout unit, the column bias current source is connected to a column-common current output connecting line, a drain of the column PMOS amplifier transistor is connected to a column-common current input connecting line, and a gate of the column PMOS amplifier transistor is connected to the column-common current output connecting line, to acquire an amplified signal of a floating diffusion region of a readout row pixel unit on the column-common current input connecting line. An SHCG is achieved, and a dynamic range in a dark light scene is expanded. A device structure size in the column signal readout unit can be much larger than the transistor in the pixel, which results in better process consistency and more flexible adjustment of the conversion gain.

Abstract: A method and device for implementing high-dynamic range imaging, and an image processing system are provided. The device includes: an image sensor, a pixel array in the image sensor including a plurality of pixel units; and a column processing unit, including a gain control unit and an analog-to-digital conversion unit; where each pixel unit includes two photoelectric conversion units with different photosensitivity; and the gain control unit is configured to determine a brightness range of an image based on a signal voltage output by each pixel unit, and select the photoelectric conversion unit for signal conversion in each pixel unit, a charge-to-voltage conversion gain of each pixel unit and a voltage gain of the column processing unit based on the brightness range. With the method, device and system, the signal voltage allows to be read out only once, thereby shortening row readout time and increasing a frame rate.
