An image sensing device includes an image sensor suitable for correcting depth information based on a control signal, and for generating image data according to the depth information, and a controller suitable for analyzing an error of the depth information, and for generating the control signal, based on first and second cycle signals provided from the image sensor.
Imaging device including photoelectric converters and capacitive element
An imaging device having a semiconductor substrate that includes a first photoelectric converter, and a second photoelectric converter adjacent to the first photoelectric converter. The imaging device further includes a capacitive element one end of which is coupled to the first photoelectric converter, where the first capacitive element at least partly overlaps, in a plan view, with the second photoelectric converter.
IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGING METHOD
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element including photodiode divided pixels, and a control unit. The control unit performs control to execute first readout in which an addition value of a first pixel and a second pixel constituting a photodiode divided pixel is read out as a pixel value constituting an image and second readout of performing readout in which a value of the first pixel and a value of the second pixel used for phase difference detection can be obtained from a photodiode divided pixel that is not a readout target in the first readout. In this case, the first readout is performed after performing the second readout in one vertical period.
Solid-state imaging device
To improve the image quality of image data in a solid-state imaging device that reads a signal according to a potential difference between respective floating diffusion regions of a pair of pixels. A pixel unit is provided with a plurality of rows each including a plurality of pixels. A readout row selection unit selects any of the plurality of rows as a readout row every time a predetermined period elapses, and causes each of the plurality of pixels in the readout row to generate a signal potential according to a received light amount. A reference row selection unit selects a row different from a previous row from among the plurality of rows as a current reference row every time the predetermined period elapses, and causes each of the plurality of pixels in the reference row to generate a predetermined reference potential. A readout circuit unit reads a voltage signal according to a difference between the signal potential and the reference potential.
