摘要： An image processing system interpolates image data of an image array by ascertaining shift invariant points and non-shift invariant points within the array. The average illumination and the second order derivative are determined for the shift invariant locations. The second order derivative and the intensity at the non-shift invariant locations for each of the non-shift invariant points are estimated. The color data for each color element is determined from the image data and second order derivative. The second order derivative is multiplied by a scaling factor for selectively smoothing and sharpening the second order derivative.

摘要： A circuit and method for correcting pixel output signals for fixed pattern noise. Pixels in a selected row of pixels are read after an integration period and the resulting signals are stored in a first sample and hold circuit for each column. The pixels in the selected row are then reset and immediately read again and the resulting signals are stored in a second sample and hold circuit for each column. The signals in the second sample and hold circuits are subtracted from the signals in the first sample and hold circuits to produce signals related to the light seen by the pixels in the selected row corrected for fixed pattern noise. The output of the first sample and hold circuits and second sample and hold circuits can be connected to a subtraction unit and sequentially activated so that a single subtraction unit is required for the entire imager. The output of the subtraction unit can connected to a buffer thereby storing signals corrected for fixed pattern noise in the buffer using only a single subtraction unit and avoiding the need for a large memory to store dark pixel signals.

摘要： A circuit and method for correcting for power supply voltage noise using two dummy pixels in each row of pixels of an imager having a number of pixels arranged in rows and columns are described. The dummy pixels are driven by the same power supply as the active pixels but do not have the capability to sense light energy. The first dummy pixel is read at the time the active pixels in a row are reset and stores a signal in a first dummy register related to the voltage level of the power supply at the time the active pixels are reset. The second dummy pixel is read at the time the active pixels in the row are read and stores a signal in a second dummy register related to the voltage level of the power supply at the time the active pixels are read. The signals in the first storage register and second storage register can then be used to correct the signals from the active pixels in the row for the effect of noise caused by power supply voltage level fluctuations.

摘要： An active pixel sensor circuit comprising a photodiode, a storage node, and a transfer gate between the photodiode and storage node, where the potential barrier between the photodiode and the storage region is maintained during charge accumulation, thereby preventing charge tunneling between the photodiode and the storage region. This is achieved by electrically connecting the transfer gate, which controls charge transfer between the photodiode and the storage region, to the storage region. Connecting the transfer gate to the storage region maintains the potential barrier between the photodiode and the storage region at a threshold voltage during the charge integration period which prevents charge tunneling between the photodiode and the storage node. The threshold voltage is determined by the implant levels used to form the active pixel sensor and can be optimized by using optimum implant levels. This prevention of charge tunneling between the photodiode and the storage node eliminates image lag.

摘要： A method and apparatus for resolving relative times-of-arrival of a plurality of light pulses includes a plurality of drift-field detectors. Each drift-field detector includes a light sensor and a semiconductor drift region. Each light sensor generates an electrical charge from at least one of the plurality of light pulses. Each semiconductor drift region receives the electrical charge from its respective light sensor and, pursuant to an electric field therein, produces a spatial charge distribution. The spatial charge distribution for each of the semiconductor drift regions is stored in an analog storage device associated therewith. The relative positions of the charge distributions in the semiconductor drift regions are used to calculate the relative times-of-arrival of the light pulses.
