  • Publication number: 20240046978
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor memory device including a plurality of memory banks. Each of the memory banks includes a first memory cell, a second memory cell, a select circuit, and a decoding circuit. The select circuit is respectively coupled to the first and second memory cells through first and second bit lines, and selects the memory cell to be operated according to a first switch signal and a second switch signal. The decoding circuit generates the first switch signal and the second switch signal according to a memory-bank select signal, a first local column select signal, and a second local column select signal.

  • Patent number: 10630911
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an image processing method and an image processing device. The method includes: retrieving a first image of a specific scene, and capturing a first subject from the first image; determining a first brightness based on the first subject; using the first brightness as a reference value of a bracketing mechanism, and performing the bracketing mechanism to capture a plurality of second images of the specific scene; synthesizing the second images as a first high dynamic range image; capturing a second subject from the first high dynamic range image, wherein the second subject has a second brightness; when the second brightness is lower than the first brightness by a predetermined threshold, optimizing the second subject; synthesizing the optimized second subject with the first high dynamic range image as a second high dynamic range image.
