Patent ID: 8502895

Claim:
A method of capturing an image of a scene using an image capture device having an array of pixels, wherein the array of pixels includes pixel of different colors, the method comprising: for a first duration, generating first captured data by capturing the scene with a first plurality of the pixels of a first color; for a second duration, generating second captured data by capturing the scene with a second plurality of the pixels of a second color; and for a third duration, generating third captured data by capturing the scene with a third plurality of the pixels of a third color, wherein the capturing the scene for the first duration includes concurrently sending a first reset pulse to a first reset transistor and sending a first transfer pulse to a first transistor, the capturing the scene for the second duration includes concurrently sending a second reset pulse to the first reset transistor and sending a second transfer pulse to a second transfer transistor, and the capturing the scene for the third duration includes concurrently sending a third reset pulse to the first reset transistor and sending a third transfer pulse to a third transfer transistor, and wherein the first captured data, the second captured data, and the third captured data are read sequentially, the first, second, and third colors are different colors, and the first, second, and third durations are different durations.
