Abstract:
An imaging device includes a fixed focus lens, an image sensor having an image matrix of a plurality of pixels arranged on a semiconductor substrate and supplying image data, and an electronic circuit for reading the image matrix. The image sensor also includes at least two ambient light sensors arranged on the semiconductor substrate on opposite sides of the image matrix, and configured to capture an ambient light intensity through the fixed lens, and the electronic circuit is also configured to read the two ambient light sensors and to supply ambient light data and the image data.
