Abstract

Binning in a hybrid pixel structure of image pixels and event vision sensor (EVS) pixels. In one embodiment, the imaging sensor includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixel circuits and a plurality of binning transistors. A first portion of the plurality of pixel circuits individually includes an intensity photodiode. A second portion of the plurality of pixel circuits individually includes an event vision sensor (EVS) photodiode. The plurality of binning transistors is configured to bin together at least one of the first portion or the second portion.
