Abstract
Method and arrangements (), for provision of pixel values for readout from pixels of an image sensor (). It is obtained () information indicating a threshold pixel value and a window at, or around, maximum, WAM, width () corresponding to a number of pixels. Pixels of the image sensor () are exposed whereby the exposed pixels attain analogue pixel values. It is identified () a pixel () in respective image sensor column () whose analogue pixel value during said exposure was first in said respective column () to reach or pass said threshold pixel value. Said identified respective pixel group () is associated () with a respective certain WAM position of a respective WAM () in said respective image sensor column () with said WAM width (). It is provided (), for parallel readout per WAM position and based on said exposure, pixel values of pixels associated with the same WAM position () in their respective WAM ().
