Abstract
A method for reducing row noise from a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor is disclosed. The method includes determining a set of row sums for a set of pixel rows in the image sensor and a set of corresponding contributing pixel counts. Then, determining a set of row offset corrections. Finally, adjusting the set of pixel rows by the set of row offset corrections.
