First Claim
Patent Images
1. A camera module, comprising:
- circuitry configured to;
set one or more exposure parameters for an image stack;
receive a capture command;
initialize a pixel array within an image sensor of the camera module;
sample one or more ambient images within at least one corresponding analog storage plane;
determine whether a strobe unit is enabled; and
if it is determined that the strobe unit is enabled, sample one or more strobe images within the at least one corresponding analog storage plane.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for generating an image stack. In use, one or more exposure parameters for an image stack are configured. Next, a capture command is received. Further, a pixel array is initialized within an image sensor of the camera module. Moreover, one or more ambient images are sampled within one or more corresponding analog storage planes. Next, if it is determined whether a strobe unit is enabled, where, if it is determined that the strobe unit is enabled, one or more strobe images are sampled within the corresponding analog storage planes.
