Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention provides an exposure control method, an exposure control circuit, and a mobile terminal. The method is applied to a mobile terminal, and includes: during the exposure process, respectively acquiring the exposure of different channels of each pixel in the CMOS sensor of the mobile terminal. parameters; according to the exposure parameters, the exposure control is performed on the different channels of each pixel, which solves the problem in the prior art that some channels still perform exposure after reaching saturation, causing photons to overflow to other channels next to them, resulting in inaccurate exposure. The problem of linearity avoids the interference between each pixel in the exposure process and ensures that the sensor can obtain the best sensitivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to an exposure control method, an exposure control circuit, and a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor, Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) sensors have been widely used due to their advantages such as high sensitivity, short exposure time and shrinking pixel size. The working principle of the CMOS sensor is: when the external light irradiates the pixel array, the photoelectric effect will occur, thereby generating corresponding charges in the pixel unit. In order to allow the CMOS sensor to sense color, a filter can be added to each pixel. At present, the most used pixel array is the Bayer arrangement RGrGbB (red, green, green and blue, the arrangement order can be varied). [0003] At present, the CMOS sensor realizes the rolling shutter exposure through the row control si...
