Abstract

See full text

Method and device for the exposure-dependent noise correction in images sensor which can be addressed in lines and columns are converted into digital values and an offset voltage correction is carried out by a summer, a gain correction is carried out by a multiplier, and an exposure-dependent dark current correction is carried out by a further summer. Further, the coefficients that depend on the line number, the column number and the integration time, are determined by linear approximations. As a result, the fixed pattern noise (PFN) in CMOS image sensor can be efficiently suppressed with a relatively low outlay.
