  • Patent number: 12198465
    Abstract: An image sensor comprises a plurality of pixels. Pixels are capable of detecting a change in an amount of light intensity and pixels are capable of detecting an amount of light intensity. In a first mode the sensor outputs data from the first one or more of the pixels. In a second mode the sensor outputs data from the second one or more of the pixels. The first mode may be a lower power operation mode and the second mode may be a higher power operation mode. At least one of the first mode and the second mode is selected by a processor based on at least one of a result of processing data output in the first mode and a result of processing data output in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11895413
    Abstract: An imaging device with a plurality of image sensing pixels and a plurality of event detection pixels is provided. The image sensing and event detection pixels can be provided as part of different arrays of pixels, or can be included within a common array of pixels. The event detection pixels are operated continuously to provide signals indicating the occurrence of events. In response to detecting an event, image sensing pixels are selectively operated. The selective operation of the image sensing pixels can include activation of image sensing pixels within one or more regions of interest, while image sensing pixels not included in any region of interest remain off. The selective operation of the image sensing pixels can include the selection of a frame rate applied across an array of mage sensing pixels, or within determined regions of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230008723
    Abstract: A sensor system with a plurality of sensors or sensor functions is provided. The sensors can include an event detection sensor, a time of flight sensor, and imaging sensor. The different sensors can be implemented on the same or different substrates. Accordingly, sensors with pixels having different or shared functions can be included in the sensor system. In operation, an event detection signal from an event detection sensor causes the operation of a time of flight sensor to be initiated. In response to the detection of an object within a critical range by the time of flight sensor, the imaging sensor is activated. The image sensing and event detection pixels can be provided as part of different arrays of pixels, or can be included within a common array of pixels.
