ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- an image sensor configured to acquire image data from an array of pixels included in the image sensor; and
at least one processor configured to process the image data,wherein the array of pixels comprises;
a first plurality of pixels configured to have a first identical exposure time; and
a second plurality of pixels configured to have a second identical exposure time,wherein the first identical exposure time is identical to or different from the second identical exposure time, andwherein the at least one processor is configured to control the image sensor such that the first plurality of pixels are changed from at least one of a state of having the exposure time identical to that of the second plurality of pixels to a state of having the exposure time different from that of the second plurality of pixels, and a state of having the exposure time different from that of the second plurality of pixels to a state of having the exposure time identical to that of the second plurality of pixels, based on at least some of the image data.

Abstract
An electronic device and a method of controlling an operation thereof are provided. The method includes acquiring image data using an image sensor comprising a first plurality of pixels configured to have a first identical exposure time and a second plurality of pixels configured to have a second identical exposure time, wherein the acquiring of the image data includes acquiring the image data using the first plurality of pixels and the second plurality of pixels while the first plurality of pixels have the first identical exposure time that is identical to the second identical exposure time of the second plurality of pixels and controlling the image sensor such that the first plurality of pixels has the first identical exposure time different from the second identical exposure time of the second plurality of pixels, at least partially based on the acquired image data.
