F eque tly Requested Questio s

Q: How does Dy amic ROI wi dowi g i c ease f ame ate i a i mud ial USB got here a?

A: I a CMOS picture se so , the pixel a ay is ead out ow by ow f om prime to backside. Every ow equi es a defi ed amou t of time to finish its eadout cycle. The full f ame pe iod is app oximately the sum of all i dividual ow eadout instances plus the ve tical bla ki g i te val equi ed betwee f ames. This mea s the f ame pe iod scales app oximately li ea ly with the umbe of lively ows i cluded i the eadout.

Whe egio of i te est wi dowi g is co figu ed o a i mud ial got here a, the se so ‘s ow add essi g ci cuit sta ts on the fi st ow of the defi ed ROI a d stops on the final. Rows exterior the ROI a e ot i cluded i the eadout. This educes the full umbe of lively ows pe f ame, sho te s the f ame pe iod, a d aises the achievable f ames pe seco d. A ve tical ROI cove i g half the se so peak app oximately halves the f ame pe iod a d app oximately doubles the f ame ate. A ve tical ROI of o e qua te of the se so peak app oaches fou instances the full- esolutio f ame ate ceili g.

Q: What’s the diffe e ce betwee ROI wi dowi g a d pixel bi i g i a high-speed got here a?

A: ROI wi dowi g a d pixel bi i g each educe the umbe of pixels i every output f ame, however they obtain this diffe e tly a d se ve diffe e t pu poses i high-speed imagi g deployme ts.

ROI wi dowi g limits the lively eadout a ea of the se so to a defi ed ecta gula egio . Pixels exterior the ROI a e ot ead in any respect.

The output picture ep ese ts a sub- egio of the se so at full pixel pitch a d full spatial esolutio withi the wi dow.

Pixel bi i g combi es the cha ge o digital values of adjace t pixels i to a si gle output worth befo e o du i g eadout. This educes the output esolutio by the bi i g facto i every dime sio a d p oduces a output picture that cove s the identical subject of view as the total se so however at educed esolutio .
