Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to a pixel exposure method for realizing high dynamic range. Background technique
[0002] The human eye is capable of detecting a dynamic range greater than 160dB, whereas most image sensors today can only record a dynamic range of about 70dB. Therefore, people's demand for high dynamic range image sensors has never stopped. There are many solutions available today to increase the dynamic range of imaging systems.
[0003] A common way to improve the dynamic range is to collect two images of the same scene and then synthesize them. The exposure time of the two images is one long and the other short. figure 1 As shown, the short exposure is performed first to read the short exposure result, and then the long exposure is performed to read the long exposure result. For short-exposure images, pixels with weaker light signals lose information due to readout noise. For long-...
