Abstract
An image sensing system includes a first subpixel array including a first pixel and a second pixel, connected to a first column line, and a second subpixel array including a third pixel and a fourth pixels, connected to a second column line, a readout circuit connected to the first and second column lines, read out in an order of the first pixel and the second pixel, and read out in an order of the third pixel and the fourth pixel, and output image data based on output signals from the first to fourth pixels, and an image signal processor configured to generate metadata related to a motion vector of an object based on the image data. A start time point of an integration time is the same for the first pixel and the third pixel, and the same for the second pixel and the fourth pixel.
Claims12
An image sensing system comprising:
- a pixel array including a first subpixel array and a second subpixel array, the first subpixel array including a first pixel and a second pixel and the second subpixel array including a third pixel and a fourth pixel;
- a first column line connected to the first pixel and the second pixel;
- a second column line connected to the third pixel and the fourth pixel, the second column line being different from the first column line;
- a readout circuit connected to the first and the second column lines, the readout circuit being configured to receive output signals from the first pixel, the second pixel, the third pixel, and the fourth pixel and configured to output image data based on the output signals;
- and
- an image signal processor configured to generate metadata related to a motion vector of an object included in the image data by performing an interpolation based on the image data,
- wherein the readout circuit is configured to read out pixels connected to the first column line in an order of the first pixel and the second pixel, and is configured to read out pixels connected to the second column line in an order of the third pixel and the fourth pixel,
- wherein a start time point of an integration time for the first pixel is the same as a start time point of an integration time for the third pixel, and
- wherein a start time point of an integration time for the second pixel is the same as a start time point of an integration time for the fourth pixel.
