摘要： The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, etc., which makes it possible to obtain an image with higher resolution by properly correcting pixel data even when any one of row selecting wirings is disconnected. A solid-state imaging device (1) comprises a photodetecting section (10), a signal reading-out section (20), a controlling section (30), and a correction processing section (40). In the photodetecting section (10), M×N pixel portions P1,1 to PM,N are two-dimensionally arrayed in a matrix of M rows and N columns, and each of the pixel portions P1,1 to PM,N includes a photodiode and a reading-out switch. Charges generated in each pixel portion Pm,n are inputted into an integrating circuit Sn through a reading-out wiring LO,n, and a voltage value corresponding to the amount of charges is outputted from the integrating circuit Sn. The voltage value from the integrating circuit Sn is outputted to an output wiring Lout through a holding circuit Hn. In the correction processing section (40), correction processing is applied to frame data repeatedly outputted from the signal reading-out section (20), and the frame data after correction is outputted.

摘要： The plural signal chains of an imaging device are calibrated in the digital domain. The pixel array of the imaging device includes a row of calibration pixels.

The row of pixels is read and processed to produce a corresponding plurality of digital values. The set of column offsets are applied to the digital values to compensate for response differences among the signal chains.

摘要： A method for operating a data processing system to generate a second image from a first image. The first image includes a two dimensional array of pixel values, each pixel value corresponding to the light intensity in one of a plurality of spectral bands at a location in the first image. The method utilizes a linear transformation of a vector derived from super input pixels to obtain a vector that includes at least one super output pixel. The super input pixels are defined by separating the pixels of the first image into a plurality of input image planes having identical numbers of pixels corresponding to the same spectral band. Each super input pixel is a vector of dimension P, where P is the number of the input image planes. Similarly, a set of output image planes is defined, each pixel in a given output image plane representing the intensity of the second image in one of a plurality of spectral bands at a corresponding point in the second image. Each super output pixel is a vector of dimension Q, where Q is the number of the output image planes, each component of that vector being a pixel from a corresponding output image plane. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the linear transformation depends on the properties of the optical system and the illumination source used to generate the first image.

摘要： A retrograde well structure for a CMOS imager that improves the quantum efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio of the imager. The retrograde well comprises a doped region with a vertically graded dopant concentration that is lowest at the substrate surface, and highest at the bottom of the well. A single retrograde well may have a single pixel sensor cell, multiple pixel sensor cells, or even an entire array of pixel sensor cells formed therein. The highly concentrated region at the bottom of the retrograde well repels signal carriers from the photosensor so that they are not lost to the substrate, and prevents noise carriers from the substrate from diffusing up into the photosensor. Also disclosed are methods for forming the retrograde well.

摘要： A solid-state image sensor includes a photocell array for accumulating signal charge for each pixel in accordance with progress of exposure, and a read circuit for reading out information on the accumulated signal charge from the photocell array.

摘要： A pixel signal outputted from an image pickup device in a standard image pickup region of a solid-state image device and a pixel signal outputted from an image pickup device in a camera shake correction region are written into a first memory and a second memory alternately for each screen. By adjusting the number of lines of a video signal upon reading out a signal from the memory, a moving image is outputted as a wide angle image. Further, by outputting all line signals in the memory, a wider angle still image is obtained.
