Patent DE-19705748-A1 (DE)
Title: Solid-state video camera exposure and gain control system
Inventor: SHIBUYA FUMINORI
IPC: H04N5/235
Filed: 1997-02-14
Abstract: The exposure control system comprises an lens 101 which focuses an object image for conversion in to electric signals s11 by a solid state image sensor 102. An amplifier 103 provides the electric signal with gain which is output as a video signal s12. The exposure adjustment system 104a determines, based on the signal level of the video signal, whether the existing exposure time are to be decreased, increased or maintained.  If the signal is to be decreased then the exposure time control signal s14 is supplied to the pulse generator 105and the drive pulse is delivered to shorten the exposure time. The discharging pulse is accumulated in the photodiode of the solid state image sensor during a horizontal blanking period. When the exposure time becomes short, gain control signal s13 is output to the amplifier so the gain is less than one. When the exposure is to be increased the drive pulse is controlled to make the exposure time longer. The gain and exposure are maintained when the exposure signal is correct.
