Capturing a still image and video image during a single exposure period

摘要

An imaging system operable to substantially simultaneously capture still image data and video data. The imaging system includes an optical system capturing incident light representative of an image and an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes at least one sensor receiving the incident light and substantially simultaneously generating the still image data and the video data within an exposure window. The imaging system also includes a controller transmitting signals to the integrated circuit for controlling the generation of the still image data and the video data.
