Abstract
Embodiments of the technology disclosed herein provide filtering pixels for performing filtering of signals within the pixel domain. Filtering pixels described herein include a hybrid analog-digital filter within the pixel circuitry, reducing the need for computationally intensive and inefficient post-processing of images to filter out aspects of captured signals, and account for ineffectiveness of optical filters.
