Abstract:
An imaging system for capturing light over a wide dynamic range and method for operating the same are provided. In some aspects, the method includes positioning an imaging pixel to image a scene described by light signals that extend over a wide dynamic range, and selecting a different integration time for at least two photodiodes in the imaging pixel based on light signals received by the imaging pixel, wherein the photodiodes are coupled to a sense node, and each photodiode is controlled using a different transfer gate. The method also includes performing a readout of the imaging pixel using a readout circuit connected to the sense node, wherein a capacitance associated with the sense node is modified during the readout of the at least two photodiodes.

Claim (Index 29):
The system of  claim 21 , wherein the different integration times of the first and second photodiodes are selected based on the controller's analysis of information from a prior image frame.
