Abstract:
Signals representative of total photocharge integrated within respective image-sensor pixels are read out of the pixels after a first exposure interval that constitutes a first fraction of a frame interval. Signals in excess of a threshold level are read out of the pixels after an ensuing second exposure interval that constitutes a second fraction of the frame interval, leaving residual photocharge within the pixels. After a third exposure interval that constitutes a third fraction of the frame interval, signals representative of a combination of at least the residual photocharge and photocharge integrated within the pixels during the third exposure interval are read out of the pixels.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 3  further comprising digitizing the fractional read-out signals to yield digital pixel values and setting each of the digital pixel values that does not exceed a minimum digital threshold to a predetermined value.
