    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method involves receiving a pixel array, compressing the pixel array by, for each pixel block of multiple pixel blocks: accessing pixel values associated with pixels in the pixel block, determining a range of the pixel values and an endpoint pixel value in the range, determining quantization levels corresponding to different values within the range of the pixel values, selecting a quantization level from the quantization levels for each of the pixel values in the pixel block, and encoding the pixel values in the pixel block using their respective selected quantization levels and the endpoint pixel value.

    Abstract: In an encoder, a high-dynamic range (HDR) image is encoded using a family of local forward reshaping functions selected according to an array of forward mapping indices (FMI) indicating which local forward reshaping function needs to be used for each pixel in the HDR image to generate a reshaped standard dynamic range (SDR) image. A decoder, given the reshaped SDR image, iteratively generates a reconstructed HDR image and estimated reshaped SDR images by adjusting a local FMI array and a local array of backward mapping indices (BMI) until an error metric related to the difference between the local BMI and FMI arrays and the difference between the estimate SDR images and the reshaped SDR image satisfy a convergence criterion. Techniques for generating families of local forward reshaping functions and local backward reshaping functions based on a global forward reshaping function are also presented.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for managing image data in an automotive lighting device (10). This method comprises the steps of providing an image pattern (1) and defining a variation pattern (2), wherein a pixel (21) of the variation pattern (2, 3) is related to the difference of luminous intensity between two pixels (11) of the image pattern (1). Afterwards, this variation pattern (2, 3) is compressed, thus creating a compressed variation pattern, which is sent to a light module (4). The invention also provides an automotive lighting device (10) for performing the steps of such a method.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for managing image data in an automotive lighting device (10). This method comprises the steps of providing an image pattern (1) and an alternative dataset with a data number lower than the number of pixels, wherein the alternative dataset is related to the values of luminous intensity of the pixels (11). Then, the maximum error is calculated and the alternative dataset is modified to reduce the maximum error, obtaining a modified alternative dataset. The modified alternative dataset is compressed and sent to a light module. The invention also provides an automotive lighting device (10) for performing the steps of such a method.

    Abstract: An imaging array and method for using the same are disclosed The imaging array includes a plurality of pixel sensors connected to a bit line, each pixel sensor includes a photodetector that includes a photodiode, a floating diffusion node, and a buffer connected to the floating diffusion node that produces a pixel output signal having a voltage that is a monotonic function of a voltage on the floating diffusion node. Each pixel sensor also include an overflow capacitor connected to the photodiode by an overflow transfer gate that allows photocharge in excess of a predetermined charge to flow onto the overflow capacitor. The charge accumulated on the photodiode and the overflow capacitor are combined to provide an improved dynamic range for the pixel sensors.
