ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,720,237, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to Gigajot Technology Inc. (Glendale, Calif.).
"Dynamic pixel-wise multi-gain readout for high dynamic range imaging" was invented by Jiaju Ma (Monrovia, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods are disclosed to enable fast readout from an image sensor to support pixel-wise conversion gain selection for high dynamic range imaging. In embodiments, an image sensor integrated circuit performs the pixel-wise gain selection with its readout circuitry, so that the image sensor outputs pixels with only the selected gain option. In this manner, the image sensor is able to achieve faster f...
