Abstract:
1. A Charge Coupled Device (CCD) sensor for capturing scene imagery, the CCD sensor comprising: a pixel array comprising: a processor coupled to the first and second segments; wherein the processor is configured to receive the first tap signal from the first segment and the second tap signal from the second segment, perform level correction on one of the first tap signal and the second tap signal based on a magnitude of the first tap signal and a magnitude of the second tap signal, and perform gain correction on one of the first tap signal and the second tap signal based on a comparison between a magnitude of the first tap signal corresponding to the region of interest and a magnitude of the second tap signal corresponding to the region of interest; wherein the processor further includes a motion input line configured to be coupled to a motion system, and wherein the processor is further configured to receive motion signals from the motion system via the motion input line including information regarding motion of the scene imagery, and to perform gain correction of the one of the first tap signal and the second tap signal only when the motion signals indicate that the scene imagery has moved by more than a scene motion threshold.
