Abstract
Methods and systems for performing light measurement are disclosed. In one example, an apparatus comprises an array of pixel cells, each pixel cell of the array of pixel cells configured to perform a light measurement operation and to generate a digital output of the light measurement operation. The apparatus further includes a peripheral circuit configured to: receive a pixel array programming map including programming data targeted at each pixel cell of the array of pixel cells, and configure the light measurement operation at the each pixel cell based on the programming data targeted at the each pixel cell. The apparatus further includes an image processor configured to generate an image frame based on the digital outputs of at least some of the array of pixel cells.
