1. An imaging device comprising:
an array of pixels comprising a plurality of rows and columns; a plurality of circuits corresponding to at least one of the plurality of rows and columns, wherein the circuits are operable to:
initiate a scanning sequence at a current column time;selectively apply a plurality of conditional resets for each pixel of the array at a plurality of future column times to control a duration of each of the plurality of integration times,apply a plurality of row read tasks configured to readout each of the pixel values, wherein a first timing of at least one of the conditional resets is controlled by a row read time remaining for a current row.
