IMAGING DEVICE WITH AUTO-FOCUS

摘要

A handheld portable imaging device (100) including a first array of pixels and a second array of pixels embedded within the first array. A processor coupled to the first and second arrays processes data read from first array independently of data read from the second array. In one embodiment, data read from the first array is processed as an image, and data read from the second array is processed relatively quickly for controlling a lens actuator that focuses an image on the first array. In another embodiment, the data from the second array is used to stabilize an image captured by the first array.
