PROVIDING MULTIPLE VIDEO SIGNALS FROM SINGLE SENSOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A capture device to capture a stream of images to produce a video signal corresponding to a particular image scene, the capture device comprising:
- a two-dimensional image sensor having a plurality of pixels;
circuitry coupled to the two-dimensional image sensor to;
(a) read a first group of pixels from the image sensor at a first frame rate to produce a first video signal of the particular image scene that is used to produce the video signal;
(b) while reading the first group of pixels, read a second group of pixels from the image sensor that are different from the first group of pixels at a second frame rate to produce a second video signal of at least a portion of the particular image scene, wherein the first group of pixels surrounds on all sides the second group of pixels;
(c) use the second video signal for adjusting one or more capture device parameters wherein the one or more capture device parameters effect a change in at least the first group of pixels; and
(d) repeat (a) through (c) while capturing the stream of images to produce the video signal.

Abstract
A method for using a capture device to capture at least two video signals corresponding to a scene, includes: providing a two-dimensional image sensor having a plurality of pixels; reading a first group of pixels from the image sensor at a first frame rate to produce a first video signal of the image scene; reading a second group of pixels from the image sensor at a second frame rate for producing a second video signal; and using at least one of the video signals for adjusting one or more of the capture device parameters.
