Pixel Array Structure
The AR0130 pixel array is configured as 1412 columns by 1028 rows, (see Figure 5). The
dark pixels are optically black and are used internally to monitor black level. Of the right
108 columns, 64 are dark pixels used for row noise correction. Of the top 24 rows of
pixels, 12 of the dark rows are used for black level correction. There are 1296 columns by
976 rows of optically active pixels. While the sensor's format is 1280 x 960, the additional
active columns and active rows are included for use when horizontal or vertical mirrored
readout is enabled, to allow readout to start on the same pixel. The pixel adjustment is
always performed for monochrome or color versions. The active area is surrounded with
optically transparent dummy pixels to improve image uniformity within the active area.
Not all dummy pixels or barrier pixels can be read out.
