  • Patent number: 11019277
    Abstract: A system for capturing a high dynamic range (HDR) image comprises an image sensor comprising a split pixel including a first pixel having higher effective gain and a second pixel having lower effective gain. The second pixels exposed with a capture window capture at least a pulse emitted by a light emitting diode (LED) controlled by a pulse width modulation. A first HDR image is produced by a combination including an image produced by the second pixels, and images produced by multiple exposures of the first pixels. A weight map of LED flicker correction is generated from the difference of the image produced by second pixels and the images produced by the first pixels, and the flicker areas in the first HDR image are corrected with the weight map and the image from the second pixels.
