Abstract
A method for reducing smear effect in an image sensor is presented. Firstly, a first charge level value from a first set of covered elements and a second charge level value from a second set of covered elements are received. Secondly, the first and the second charge level values are compared. Thirdly, if a difference resulting from said comparing said first and said second charge level values is outside a predetermined interval, camera settings are adjusted.
Claims27
A method for reducing smear effect in an image sensor comprising:
- receiving a first charge level value from a first set of covered elements;
- receiving a second charge level value from a second set of covered elements;
- comparing said first and said second charge level values;
- and
- adjusting camera settings if a difference resulting from said comparing said first and said second charge level values is outside a predetermined interval.
A smear reduction module for reducing smear effect in an image sensor comprising:
- a first charge level value receiver configured to receive a first charge level value from a first set of covered elements;
- a second charge level value receiver configured to receive a second charge level value from a second set of covered elements;
- a comparator configured to compare said first and said second charge level values;
- and
- a camera settings controller configured to adjust camera settings if a difference resulting from said comparing said first and said second charge level values is outside a predetermined interval.
