Estimating the term…
An image sensing device includes an alert sensor and an image sensor. The alert sensor includes a plurality of alert pixels for sensing light changes corresponding to the plurality of alert pixels. The image sensor includes a pixel array for capturing an image. The alert sensor is initially turned on and the image sensor is initially turned off. When the light changes meet a predetermined condition, the alert sensor turns on the image sensor to capture the image and then the alert sensor is turned off accordingly. The plurality of alert pixels are arranged around a periphery of the pixel array. There is a distance between each alert pixel and the pixel array, and the alert pixels and the pixel array are formed on the same substrate.
