Abstract

Image sensor circuitry comprising an image sensor and method for supporting reduction of laser speckle effects in a digital image. Per each pixel position (x, y) of at least a subregion of the image sensor, the image sensing circuitry: Assigns to said pixel position (x,y) a predefined pixel window (w) comprising said pixel position (x,y) and one or more of its closest neighboring pixel positions. Obtains first pixel values for each pixel located within said predefined pixel window (w), said first pixel values resulting from the same exposure and corresponding to sensed light from this exposure. Combines the obtained first pixel values into a single, second pixel value according to a predefined combination function. The digital image is provided based on the second pixel values.
