Abstract:
1. A method for reading out a high dynamic range image in an image sensor including a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged in columns and rows, comprising: confirming a first integration time and a second integration time for the pixel array; determining a first start time for resetting an initial row of the pixel array according to a first integration time T determining a second start time for resetting the initial row of the pixel array according to a second integration time T determining a third start time for resetting the initial row of the pixel array according to a first integration time T resetting the pixel array row by row from the initial row of the pixel array to process a first integration treatment for the first image when reaching the first start time; reading out first integration image data of the first image of the pixel array row by row from the initial row of the pixel array when the initial row has undergone the first integration treatment for the first integration time T resetting the pixel array row by row from the initial row of the pixel array to process a second integration treatment for the first image when reaching the second start time; reading out second integration image data of the first image of the pixel array row by row from the initial row of the pixel array when the initial row has undergone the second integration treatment for the second integration time T resetting the pixel array row by row from the initial row of the pixel array to process a first integration treatment for a second image when reaching the third start time; wherein the first integration time T
