Abstract
An automatic exposure (AE) imaging system includes an image sensor that captures an analog image; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts the analog image into a digital image; a single-frame image processor that processes the digital image; an exposure quantizer that generates a discrete number representing a determined exposure time according to an output of the single-frame image processor; a multi-exposure controller, under control of a motion-detect signal, generating a plurality of different exposure times in sequence in each frame period in a motion detection mode, and outputting the determined exposure time in a streaming mode; and a pixel controller coupled to receive an output of the multi-exposure controller, according to which the image sensor is controlled.
