Abstract
This disclosure describes: (1) two different schemes to enhance dynamic range, (2) a new motion detection scheme using in-pixel digital storage, and (3) the motion detection in high illumination for CMOS image sensors. The schemes may be implemented in a small pixel size and easily incorporated in simple column-level circuits for existing CMOS image sensor systems.
