Hybrid image sensors with adjustable contrast thresholds

Abstract

Hybrid image sensors with adjustable contrast thresholds (and associated systems, devices, and methods) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an imaging system comprises one or more event vision sensor (EVS) pixels, and a plurality of CMOS image sensor (CIS) pixels. Each EVS pixel can be configured to, based on a contrast threshold, capture event data corresponding to contrast information of light incident on the EVS pixel. Each CIS pixel can be configured to capture CIS data corresponding to intensity of light incident on the CIS pixel. The imaging system can further comprise (i) a contrast threshold calibration circuit configured to adjust a value of the contrast threshold over time, and (ii) a deblur circuit configured to generate deblurred image data by deblurring the CIS data captured by the plurality of CIS pixels using at least a portion of the event data captured by the one or more EVS pixels.
