An image processing device includes a vision sensor and a processor. The vision sensor generates a plurality of events in which an intensity of light changes and generates a plurality of timestamps depending on times when the events occur. In addition, the processor may regenerate a timestamp of a pixel where an abnormal event occurs, based on temporal correlation of the events.

A plurality of multi-camera systems and methods for imaging faint objects are disclosed, which includes an array of cameras that, when taken alone, are incapable of imaging such objects. The systems and methods may include common field arrays, hybrid field arrays, and/or adaptive field arrays.

An imaging device capable of image processing is provided. The imaging device can retain analog data (image data) obtained by an image-capturing operation in a pixel and perform a product-sum operation of the analog data and a predetermined weight coefficient in the pixel to convert the data into binary data. When the binary data is taken in a neural network or the like, processing such as image recognition can be performed. Since enormous volumes of image data can be retained in pixels in the state of analog data, processing can be performed efficiently.

In a solid-state image sensor that compares an amount of change in light amount and a threshold, time required to adjust the threshold is shortened. The solid-state image sensor includes a voltage comparison unit and a count unit. In the solid-state image sensor, the voltage comparison unit compares an analog signal according to an amount of change in incident light with a predetermined voltage indicating a boundary of a predetermined voltage range, and outputs a comparison result as a voltage comparison result. Furthermore, in the solid-state image sensor, the count unit counts a count value every time the voltage comparison result indicating that the analog signal falls outside the voltage range is output.

A TDI sensor which is capable of controlling the exposure according to the present disclosure includes a pixel unit which includes a plurality of line sensors; a light blocking unit which blocks light from being incident into some of the plurality of line sensors; a scan controller which generates an exposure control signal based on an external line trigger signal, generates an internal line trigger signal based on the external line trigger signal and the exposure control signal, and controls the movement of charges of the plurality of line sensors based on the internal line trigger signal.

A method is described that includes, on an image processor having a two dimensional execution lane array and a two dimensional shift register array, repeatedly shifting first content of multiple rows or columns of the two dimensional shift register array and repeatedly executing at least one instruction between shifts that operates on the shifted first content and/or second content that is resident in respective locations of the two dimensional shift register array that the shifted first content has been shifted into.

An imaging device acquires first dark image data in a state where an image sensor has been light shielded, acquires second dark image data in a state where the image sensor has been light shielded, based on completion of exposure, corrects fixed pattern noise of a reference combined image data based on at least one of the first dark image data and the second dark image data, and stores the reference combined image data that has been subjected to correction.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, an image synchronization device includes a light emitting source configured to emit light at intervals of a predetermined time, a sampling phase calibration circuit configured to calibrate a sampling phase of each of the first image sensor and the second image sensor on the basis of a light emitting timing of the light emitting source and a delay calibration circuit configured to generate delay information on the basis of a result of comparison between first image information transmitted from the first image sensor and second image information transmitted from the second image sensor.

Many embodiments can comprise a system. The system can comprise one or more processors and one or more storage devices. The one or more storage devices can be configured to store computing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive a plurality of images of an object, the plurality of images comprising different views of the object from around the object; iteratively align one or more images within one or more subsets of the plurality of images until the object is aligned from image to image within the one or more subsets of the plurality of images; and selectively align respective images of the one or more subsets to each other to produce a surround image. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

An image sensor including: a pixel array disposed under a display panel, the pixel array including a plurality of pixels configured to perform a sensing operation by collecting a photo-charge generated by a light that penetrates the display panel; a row driver configured to drive the plurality of pixels row by row; and a controller configured to control the pixel array and the row driver such that a sensing sensitivity of blue pixels among the plurality of pixels is higher than a sensing sensitivity of red pixels and a sensing sensitivity of green pixels among the plurality of pixels.
