    Abstract: An image signal amplifying circuit comprising an amplifier and a gain control circuit. The amplifier respectively amplifies a first image signal and a second image signal, which are generated by a pixel array of an image sensor, by a first analog gain and a second analog gain, wherein each one of pixel circuits of the pixel array comprises a first capacitor for generating the first image signal and a second capacitor for generating the second image signal, wherein a charge storage capacity of the first capacitor is smaller than a charge storage capacity of the second capacitor. The gain control circuit selectively adjusts the first analog gain or the second analog gain. Each one of the pixel circuits has a first conversion gain corresponding to the first capacitor and a second conversion gain corresponding to the second capacitor.

    Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to generating a full-frame color image using a hybrid sensor are described. An apparatus receives sensor data from the hybrid sensor, wherein the sensor data includes partial-frame chromatic data of a plurality of chromatic channels and partial-frame color-insensitive data. The apparatus subsequently generates full-frame color-insensitive data based on the partial-frame color-insensitive data. The apparatus subsequently generates the full-frame color image based on the full-frame color-insensitive data and the partial-frame chromatic data. The apparatus provides benefits of enhancing image quality of the full-frame color image especially under low light conditions.

    Abstract: Method and system of video decoding incorporating frame compression to reduce frame buffer size are disclosed. The method adjusts parameters of the frame compression according to decoder system information or syntax element in the video bitstream. The decoder system information may be selected from a group consisting of system status, system parameter and a combination of system status and system parameter. The decoder system information may include system bandwidth, frame buffer size, frame buffer status, system power consumption, and system processing load. The syntax element comprises reference frame indicator, initial picture QP (quantization parameter), picture type, and picture size. The adaptive frame compression may be applied to adjust compression ratio. Furthermore, the adaptive frame compression may be applied to a decoder for a scalable video coding system or a multi-layer video coding system.
