  • Patent number: 12289543
    Abstract: An imaging device is provided with a pixel array section including multiple pixels arranged in a matrix of rows and columns, and a column signal processor. The multiple pixels include multiple imaging pixels that each output a pixel signal corresponding to incident light and multiple reference pixels which are aligned in the column direction in at least two columns and which each output a reset signal corresponding to the output signal at reset of each of the multiple first pixels. The column signal processor outputs the difference between the pixel signal outputted by one imaging pixel from among the multiple imaging pixels and a reference signal based on the reset signals outputted by at least two reference pixels, from among the multiple reference pixels, located in the same row as the one imaging pixel.

  • Publication number: 20230296738
    Abstract: A distance measurement device includes a light source that projects pulse light toward an object, a detector that receives reflected light of the projected pulse light from the object, the detector including a first pixel having sensitivity that is variable, and a control unit. The light source projects first pulse light in a first period. The control unit sets the sensitivity of the first pixel to sensitivity ?1 in a second period and sets the sensitivity of the first pixel to sensitivity ?2 different from the sensitivity ?1 in a third period following the second period. A length of the second period is equal to a length of the first period. A start time of the second period is after a start time of the first period. The second period and the third period are included in a first light-reception period.

  • Publication number: 20230276142
    Abstract: An imaging device includes an imaging unit including a plurality of pixels, respectively including photoelectric converters and charge accumulation nodes that accumulate signal charge. The imaging unit outputs image data based on signals corresponding to the signal charge accumulated in the charge accumulators. The imaging device includes an image processing unit that processes the image data output by the imaging unit. The imaging unit sequentially outputs a plurality of pieces of image data in one frame period by performing readout nondestructively. The image processing unit generates difference image data by determining a difference between two pieces of image data, selects output image data from initial image data and the difference image data, and combines the output image data and normal readout image data included in the plurality of pieces of image data, to generate combination-result image data.
