Patent ID: 8582011

Claim:
A device comprising: a plurality of rows of image sensors configured to sense light corresponding to an image, each image sensor including a first light sensing device and a second light sensing device; and a control device configured to: read a first voltage from the first light sensing device as part of a global shuttering operation associated with the plurality of rows of image sensors; read a second voltage from the second light sensing device as part of a rolling shuttering operation associated with the plurality of rows of image sensors, wherein voltages of each image sensor are read one row at a time from the plurality of rows of image sensors; generate an image output signal based, at least in part, on the voltages read from the plurality of rows of image sensors for both the global shuttering operation and the rolling shuttering operation; and initiate a next global shuttering operation after the voltages for all of the plurality of rows of image sensors have been read.
