Abstract
An image sensor system () sensitive to electromagnetic irradiation and comprising: a first pixel area () comprising an array of synchronous first image sensor pixels (); and an infrared pixel arca () comprising infrared image sensor pixels () sensitive to infrared irradiation; and a change detector area () comprising multiple asynchronous change detectors (), and a synchronous intensity read-out circuitry (). A first electromagnetic receptor () of a respective first image sensor pixel () is electrically coupled to the synchronous intensity read-out circuitry (). An infrared detector () of a respective infrared image sensor pixel () is electrically coupled to a respective first asynchronous change detector () out of the multiple asynchronous change detectors (). The change detector area () is a distinct part of the image sensor system () which is separate from the pixel areas ().
