A world seen together by humans and machines, 5.1MP dual shutter image sensor

• Need to overcome limitations of global shutter and rolling shutter

Existing image sensors support only one of either global shutter (simultaneous exposure across entire area) or rolling shutter (sequential line-by-line exposure), resulting in conflicting trade-offs for each approach

• Difference in requirements between computer vision and human vision

Computer vision prioritizes fast motion capture without distortion, while natural image quality similar to human vision is also necessary

• Extended dynamic range and low-light environment response

High-quality imagery and wide exposure range are essential across diverse fields including industrial, security, and automotive applications

• Growing demand for simultaneous visible light and near-infrared (NIR) imaging

Multispectral imaging enables richer information acquisition and expanded application possibilities

 

• Innovative dual-mode pixel architecture

Both global shutter and rolling shutter functions are implemented in a single sensor, enabling simultaneous benefits of both shutter methods

• Noise reduction and ultra-short exposure support

Very low noise levels and ultra-short exposure times enable distortion-free capture of fast motion

• Extended dynamic range (HDR) implementation

Independent exposure control per RGB and NIR pixel and HDR merging express wide brightness range within a single frame

• Smart upscaling and image correction

Built-in pixel rearrangement and image correction algorithms for optimal combination of NIR and RGB imagery

• MIPI CSI-2 interface support

High-speed data transmission suitable for real-time video processing
