Pixel Binning
Besides windowing the image sensor, small resolutions can be obtained
downsampling the entire captured image by using pixel binning. Pixel binning
can increase the signal to noise ratio and produce a more pleasing output image
with reduced artifacts. It also improves low-light performance.
– Disabled
Pixel binning is disabled.
– Enabled
Two column and two row pixels are averaged to create one pixel value
providing a 2:1 reduction in the vertical pixels and a 2:1 in reduction in
the horizontal pixels for a combined 4:1 reduction. An image with a
dimension of 640 x 480 is scaled to 320 x 240. See following example:
IMPORTANT
Enabling this feature does not affect the sensor frame rate as the pixels must
still be processed to be averaged and binned.
• Default: Disabled
• Options: 0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
