PROJECT TITLE :

Pixel Binning for High Dynamic Range Color Image Sensor Using Square Sampling Lattice - 2018

ABSTRACT:

We propose a brand new pixel binning theme for color image sensors. We minimized distortion caused by binning by requiring that the superpixels lie on a sq. sampling lattice. The proposed binning schemes achieve the equivalent of 4.42 times signal strength improvement with the image resolution loss of 5 times, higher in noise performance and in resolution than the existing binning schemes. Hence, the proposed binning has considerably less artifacts and higher noise performance compared with the existing binning schemes. Still, we have a tendency to provide an extension to the proposed binning scheme for performing single-shot high dynamic vary image acquisition.
