Abstract
A method for reading out a high dynamic range image in an image sensor comprises: resetting a pixel array row by row from an initial row of the pixel array to process a first integration treatment for a first image when reaching a first start time; resetting the pixel array row by row from the initial row of the pixel array to process a second integration treatment for the first image when reaching a second start time; and resetting the pixel array row by row from the initial row of the pixel array to process a first integration treatment for a second image when reaching a third start time.
