    Abstract: Provided are a solid-state electronic imaging device that makes periodic noise invisible and a method for controlling the solid-state electronic imaging device. In a solid-state electronic imaging device in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are arranged, a second ramp wave whose level decreases for a second sampling period from the output of a read pulse for reading signal charge accumulated in the photoelectric conversion elements to the output of a reset pulse for resetting the signal charge accumulated in the photoelectric conversion elements is output. In a case in which the level of the second ramp wave is a second reference level, a second sampling pulse is output and a voltage signal converted from the signal charge is sampled. The sampling interval is non-periodic. Even in a case in which periodic noise has an effect on the solid-state electronic imaging device, it is possible to exclude the periodic noise from an object image obtained by imaging.

    Abstract: A regulated supply voltage can be established using switching cycles defined at least in part according to a switching clock period. Imaging information can be acquired from an imaging sensor and a discrete-time representation of the imaging information can be received. Noise, such as corresponding to the switching cycles, can be reduced or suppressed. In an example, a discrete-valued noise template can be stored in a memory, wherein a count of values in the noise template is less than a count of an entirety of a physical row of pixels from the imaging sensor. The discrete-valued noise template can be aligned with a portion of the discrete-time representation of the imaging information. The noise in the discrete-time representation can be at least partially canceled using the aligned discrete-valued noise template. The template can be constructed such as by aggregating imaging information obtained from an optically-black portion of the imaging sensor.
