Abstract: Methods and systems for increasing the effective dynamic range of an image sensor are disclosed. Each pixel in the sensor is exposed for a respective first exposure time. Each pixel's response to the respective first exposure is measured and compared to threshold values. Based on the pixel's response to the respective first exposure time, an optimal exposure is calculated for each pixel. The optimal exposure time is applied to each pixel by utilizing row-enabled and column-enabled signals at each pixel within the sensor.

Abstract: An image sensor architecture with multi-bit sampling is implemented within an image sensor system. A pixel signal produced in response to light incident upon a photosensitive element is converted to a multiple-bit digital value representative of the pixel signal. If the pixel signal exceeds a sampling threshold, the photosensitive element is reset. During an image capture period, digital values associated with pixel signals that exceed a sampling threshold are accumulated into image data.
