  • Patent number: 9185310
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a solid-state imaging device includes an illuminance value calculating unit and an illuminance value output unit. The illuminance value calculating unit calculates an illuminance value based on an integration result of luminance values. The illuminance value output unit outputs the illuminance value calculated by the illuminance value calculating unit by setting, as a target, a subject image obtained through application of one of two or more illuminance measurement conditions. The two or more illuminance measurement conditions are set in advance by varying at least one of an electronic shutter time and an analog gain.

  • Patent number: 9007487
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a camera module has an exposure control unit. When an exposure error has reached within a coring range by first exposure control, the exposure control unit switches exposure control from the first exposure control to second exposure control. The exposure error shows a deviation of an exposure evaluation value to an exposure target value. In the second exposure control, an exposure change amount is reduced than at the time of the first exposure control. When the exposure error has reached a zero level by the second exposure control, the exposure control unit stops the exposure control.

  • Publication number: 20150070545
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a solid-state imaging device includes an image sensor including a valid pixel area having valid pixels and a light-blocking pixel area having light-blocking pixels to generate an image signal; and a clamp circuit that detects an overflow of a signal charge and executes a black level signal processing for the image signal using a parameter. The clamp circuit detects the overflow using an integration value of the signals of the light-blocking pixels integrated in a direction from the light-blocking pixel area to the valid area, and sets the parameter generated from the output signals of the light-blocking pixels substantially not influenced by the overflow based on a result of the detection.

  • Patent number: 8144222
    Abstract: A pixel-interpolation processing unit generates a sensitivity level value of an insufficient color component according to interpolation processing of image signals. A sensitivity level value of an insufficient color component in a pixel of attention is calculated, according to an arithmetic operation corresponding to an acquired color component of the pixel of attention, by assuming a geometric figure including sensitivity level values of acquired color components as vertexes. As the geometric figure, the same figure is used irrespectively of which color component the acquired color component is.
