Abstract
Integrated-circuit imagers selectively multi-sample pixel array outputs according to luminance level indicated by an initial sample, avoiding the additional power/time required for multi-sampling in high-luminance, shot-noise-dominated conditions and, conversely, multi-sampling in readout-noise-dominated low-luminance conditions.
