Abstract
To generate multiple types of images of the same subject, an electronic apparatus includes a drive control unit that controls the drive of an image sensor, a division unit that divides an image capture region of the image sensor into at least first and second regions, and an image generation unit that generates a first image by capturing an image of the same subject in the first region and generates a second image by capturing an image of the same subject in the second region.
Claims30
An imaging sensor, comprising:
- a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric converter that converts light into charge and a transfer transistor for transferring the charge resulting from conversion by the photoelectric converter;
- a first control line that is connected to a first transfer transistor included in each of a plurality of first pixels disposed side by side in a row direction and a column direction among the plurality of pixels, and receives a first control signal for controlling the first transfer transistor;
- and
- a second control line that is connected to a second transfer transistor included in each of a plurality of second pixels disposed side by side in the row direction and the column direction among the plurality of pixels, and receives a second control signal for controlling the second transfer transistor.
