HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE SENSOR, AND METHOD AND MEDIUM FOR MEASURING QUANTITY OF LIGHT RECEIVED IN PIXEL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high dynamic range image sensor and a method for measuring the quantity of light received in a pixel. SOLUTION: The high dynamic range image sensor includes a sensor that resets a predetermined pixel when the pixel has reached a saturation level, a storage unit that stores the number of times the pixel has been reset, and a measurement unit that measures the quantity of light received in the pixel using the number of times the pixel has been reset and the quantity of charges remaining after the pixel is finally reset.
