Problems solved by technology

[0004] When the contrast between light and dark in the external scene is very strong, if the image sensor wants to obtain the details in the dark part of the image, it is easy to cause the image details in the bright part to be lost, that is, the dynamic range (Dynamic Range, DR) is limited.

Abstract

Disclosed are a control method of an image sensor, the image sensor, and an imaging device. The method includes: during exposure, enabling a transmission tube to be in a sub-threshold state, so that the photo-generated charges exceeding the capacity enter a floating diffusion area (S110); reseting a floating diffusion area (S120); turning the transfer tube on to transfer photo-generated charges in a photosensitive element to the floating diffusion area (S130); reading the signal voltage of the floating diffusion area (S140); and determining an imaging parameter of the pixel according to the signal voltage (S150). The method can achieve a wide dynamic range.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image sensors, and in particular to an image sensor, a control method thereof, and an imaging device equipped with an image sensor. Background technique [0002] Image sensors are widely used in consumer electronics, security monitoring, industrial automation, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other fields, for the collection and arrangement of image data information, and provide information sources for subsequent processing and applications. [0003] The image sensor can be divided into the photosensitive circuit area and the peripheral reading circuit area according to the functional composition. The function of the photosensitive circuit area is responsible for converting the light signal into an electrical signal through the photosensitive element and storing it, and then handing it over to the subsequent peripheral readout circuit for conversion into a digital image signal. ...
