Abstract
An image sensor may include an image sensor pixel array. The image sensor pixel array may include active image sensor pixels and non-active image sensor pixels. A line of image sensor pixels may be coupled to readout circuitry. The readout circuitry may use reset level signals from some of the image sensor pixels to obtain a digital average reset level value and may use the digital average reset level value to perform digital-domain correlated double sampling operations for digital image level values from active image sensor pixels in the line of image sensor pixels.
