Abstract:
An imaging system for generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image includes a pixel array that includes first pixels and second pixels, a driver circuit configured to control the first pixels based on a first exposure time and control the second pixels based on a second exposure time, an output circuit configured to output first pixel values of the first pixels and second pixel values of the second pixels from the pixel array, and a processing device configured to generate the HDR image based on a first Bayer image and a second Bayer image, where the first Bayer image is generated based on the first pixel values and the second Bayer image is generated based on the second pixel values and third pixel values of the first Bayer image. The quantity of pixels of the first pixels may be greater than the quantity of pixels of the second pixels.
