摘要: The present invention relates to an image sensing device comprising: an image sensing array and an image processing circuit. The image sensing array includes sensing units, and the sensing units respectively generate multiple pieces of pixel data. The multiple pieces of pixel data are generated according to different frame rates under different exposure periods, and include a first pixel data of a first subframe and a second pixel data of a second subframe. The first pixel data is generated by exposing a first exposure period for a first frame rate, and the second pixel data is generated by exposing a second exposure period for a second frame rate.

摘要: An image sensor and an image sensing method are provided. A readout circuit outputs a first digital sensing signal according to a floating diffusion node voltage of a first pixel circuit reset after a reset stage and a floating diffusion node voltage of a second pixel circuit reset after the reset stage during a reset signal readout period. The readout circuit outputs a second digital sensing signal according to a sensing result of the first pixel circuit and the floating diffusion node voltage of the second pixel circuit reset after the same reset stage during a sensing signal readout period. The image processing circuit judges whether a digital number of at least one of the first digital sensing signal and the second digital sensing signal is abnormal to decide to keep an original digital number, directly set a pixel value, or reset the second digital sensing signal.

摘要: Provided is an identification method for an identification system, which includes a sensing area and an image sensor. First, a test object is close to the sensing area, so that the image sensor generates a dynamic image. Next, the test object gradually pressurizes the sensing area. Then, the test object completely covers the sensing area, and the image sensor further produces a perspective image. Finally, an identification module is used to determine whether the dynamic image is a biological image according to the perspective image, and to perform a subtraction operation on the dynamic image as a basis to determine whether to unlock the identification system. Therefore, the identification system and the identification method can achieve a real-time determination on whether the dynamic image is a biological image. Also, the identification method greatly improves the false acceptance rate (FAR) and the false rejection rate (FRR) of the identification system.
