📄 原文摘要

mobile phone cameras. But, when very small pixel sizes are used, the sensor SNR is limited by photon shot noise. In order to improve the sensor SNR Honda [1] and Luo [2] proposed the use of a sensor with a white (W) pixel in the color filter area. The white pixel, however, saturates at low light levels and sufficient dynamic range cannot be obtained as a result. In order to overcome the dynamic range problem, we propose a CIS with a WRGB color filter array (two white pixels per 2×2 block) incorporating the wide dynamic-range (WDR) technology presented in [3-5]. Our proposed implementation makes possible further improvements in SNR over previous work and increases the dynamic range for both high and low illumination. Our sensor architecture does not require additional elements in the pixels
