Image sensors with variable read out circuitry

A method comprising:

• generating image signals using an image pixel array comprising rows and columns of image pixels;
• with row driver circuitry, generating readout signals with variable timing based on positions of the rows in the array;
• reading out the image signals of the rows of pixels over column readout circuitry;
• and
• storing the image signals in a frame buffer.

An imaging system comprising:

• an image sensor comprising:
• an image pixel array comprising rows and columns of image pixels that are configured to generate image signals;
• column output circuitry configured to output the image signals generated by the pixels in the rows of pixels;
• row driver circuitry that is configured to drive the image signals from the rows to the column output circuitry;
• variable timing circuitry configured to drive the row driver circuitry at a variable rate that is determined based on a location of a given row in the array;
• and
• a data interface that receives the image signals from the column readout circuitry;
• and
• an image processor comprising:
• a frame buffer configured to store the image signals as they are read out.
