Abstract
A solid-state imaging device according to the present disclosure includes a pixel array unit in which unit pixels including photoelectric conversion elements are arranged in a matrix form and the unit pixels are grouped into a plurality of pixel groups and a timing controller which independently sets an exposure start timing and an exposure end timing relative to each of the plurality of pixel groups so that at least one pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups is exposed a plurality of times within a single vertical synchronization period.
Claims19
A solid-state imaging device comprising:
- a pixel array unit in which unit pixels including photoelectric conversion elements are arranged in a matrix form and the unit pixels are grouped into a plurality of pixel groups;
- and
- a timing controller configured to independently set an exposure start timing and an exposure end timing relative to each of the plurality of pixel groups so that at least one pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups is exposed a plurality of times within a single vertical synchronization period, wherein
- in a case of capturing a light emitting object, the timing controller sets an exposure start time and an exposure time length of each of a plurality of exposure images imaged by the plurality of times of exposures in consideration of a blinking period of the light emitting object.
An imaging device comprising:
- a solid-state imaging device including:
- a pixel array unit in which unit pixels including photoelectric conversion elements are arranged in a matrix form and the unit pixels are grouped into a plurality of pixel groups;
- and
- a timing controller which independently sets an exposure start timing and an exposure end timing relative to each of the plurality of pixel groups so that at least one pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups is exposed a plurality of times within a single vertical synchronization period, wherein
- in a case of capturing a light emitting object, the timing controller sets an exposure start time and an exposure time length of each of a plurality of exposure images imaged by the plurality of times of exposures in consideration of a blinking period of the light emitting object.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a solid-state imaging device including:
- a pixel array unit in which unit pixels including photoelectric conversion elements are arranged in a matrix form and the unit pixels are grouped into a plurality of pixel groups;
- and
- a timing controller which independently sets an exposure start timing and an exposure end timing relative to each of the plurality of pixel groups so that at least one pixel group of the plurality of pixel groups is exposed a plurality of times within a single vertical synchronization period, wherein
- in a case of capturing a light emitting object, the timing controller sets an exposure start time and an exposure time length of each of a plurality of exposure images imaged by the plurality of times of exposures in consideration of a blinking period of the light emitting object.
