Abstract
A camera captures image data at a target frame rate. The camera includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect light from a local area and includes a plurality of augmented pixels. Each augmented pixel comprises at least a first and a second gate. The first gates are configured to store a first plurality of image frames as first image data according to a first activation pattern. The second gates are configured to store a second plurality of image frames as second image data according to a second activation pattern. The controller reads out the image data to generate a first image from the first image data and a second image from the second image data. The first and second images may be used to reconstruct a combined set of image frames at the target frame rate with a reconstruction algorithm.
