Abstract
A high-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging system includes a pixel array providing a high-sensitivity signal and a low-sensitivity signal; and an HDR encoder generating an encoded signal according to the high-sensitivity signal and the low-sensitivity signal. A flag bit is asserted when the high-sensitivity signal is not greater than a predetermined threshold, otherwise the flag bit is de-asserted.
