An image sensor, including a photosensitive pixel array, a storage element, and a displacement processing element, is provided. The photosensitive pixel array includes a photosensitive pixel. The storage element is configured to store a first sensing result of the photosensitive pixel at a first time point. The displacement processing element is coupled to the storage element to receive the first sensing result. The displacement processing element is configured to generate displacement information, wherein an image frame with the displacement information is transmitted to the outside of the image sensor.

Image sensor

A color filter array for an image sensing device includes a plurality of pixels, for generating a plurality of pixel data of an image; and a control unit, for controlling the plurality of pixels; wherein each of the plurality of pixels is divided into a plurality of sub-pixels; wherein the pixel data outputted by each of the plurality of pixels is generated based on at least one pixel value of the plurality of sub-pixels and the outputted pixel data is smaller than a saturated threshold; wherein at least one pixel in the plurality of pixels has a mixed color by having different sub-pixel colors in the plurality of sub-pixels.

Color filter array and manufacturing method thereof capable of enlarging a dynamic range of an image sensing device

A color filter array for an image sensing device is disclosed. The color filter array includes a plurality of pixels and a control unit. The plurality of pixels is utilized for generating a plurality of pixel data of an image. The control unit is utilized for controlling the plurality of pixels. In addition, each of the plurality of pixels is divided into a plurality of sub-pixels corresponding to the same color. When outputting the plurality of pixel data, each of the plurality of pixels accumulates pixel value of at least one of the plurality of sub-pixels in each of the plurality of pixels as the pixel data outputted by each of the plurality of pixels.

Color filter array and manufacturing method thereof

An auto-color-correction method for an image capturing device includes calculating a plurality color temperatures of a plurality of pixels in an image; calculating a number of pixels of the plurality of pixels located in a first color temperature range as a first number and a number of pixels of the plurality of pixels located in a second color temperature range as a second number; generating a color temperature weight according to the first number and the second number; and generating at least one correction coefficient according to the color temperature weight, at least one first coefficient corresponding to the first color temperature range and at least one second coefficient corresponding to the second color temperature range.
