Image sensing device, camera, and transportation equipment

An image sensing device that comprises a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix and a plurality of readout circuits configured to read out signals from the pixel array,

• the plurality of pixels comprising:
• a first pixel which belongs to a first pixel row of the pixel array and a first pixel column of the pixel array,
• a second pixel which belongs to a second pixel row of the pixel array and the first pixel column of the pixel array, and
• a third pixel which belongs to the second pixel row of the pixel array and a second pixel column of the pixel array, and
• the plurality of readout circuits comprising a first readout circuit connected to the first pixel and the second pixel and a second readout circuit connected to the third pixel,
• wherein the image sensing device performs a first image sensing operation and performs a second image sensing operation after the first image sensing operation,
• wherein in the first image sensing operation, signal read out from the first pixel by the first readout circuit and signal read out from the third pixel by the second readout circuit are performed simultaneously, and
• wherein in the second image sensing operation, signal read out from the first pixel by the first readout circuit and signal read out from the third pixel by the second readout circuit are performed separately, and signal read out from the first pixel by the first readout circuit and signal read out from the second pixel by the first readout circuit are performed separately, and
• wherein a controller determines, based on a signal generated by the first image sensing operation, a control parameter which is to be used to control the second image sensing operation,
• wherein the second image sensing operation is performed based on the control parameter,
• wherein a plurality of image sensing operations are repeated over a plurality of periods,
• wherein an image sensing operation performed in one period of the plurality of periods includes:
• reading out a first plurality of signals by the plurality of readout circuits, the first plurality of signals being generated by the first image sensing operation, and
• reading out a second plurality of signals by the plurality of readout circuits, the second plurality of signals being generated by the second image sensing operation,
• wherein the second plurality of signals are read out after the first plurality of signals are read out, and
• wherein the controller performs the second image sensing operation in the one period by using the control parameter determined by the first image sensing operation in the one period.
