Patent ID: 10645323

Abstract:
The present technology relates to an image sensor, a processing method, and an electronic apparatus that enable reduction of power consumption. An image sensor has signal processing units each responsible for signal processing of the pixel signal output from a pixel in one of pixel blocks each made up of one or more pixels, on each of which a plurality of pixels that performs photoelectric conversion and outputs a pixel signal is two-dimensionally arranged, the signal processing units being the same in number as the number of the pixel blocks and two-dimensionally arranged; horizontal control lines being the same in number as the number in a vertical direction of the signal processing units; vertical control lines being the same in number as the number in a horizontal direction of the signal processing units; and a computation unit that performs a computation using a horizontal control signal supplied via each of the horizontal control lines and a vertical control signal supplied via each of the vertical control lines as inputs. Each of the signal processing units works in accordance with a result of the computation. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an image sensor for capturing images.
