Abstract
Photodetection elements within an integrated-circuit pixel array are dynamically configurable to any of at least three uniform-aspect-ratio, size-scaled pixel footprints through read-out-time control of in-pixel transfer gates associated with respective photodetection elements and binning transistors coupled between the transfer gates for respective clusters of the photodetection elements and a shared reset node.
