Image sensors having pixel-binning with configurable shared floating diffusion

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for image sensors with pixel binning with configurable shared floating diffusion are presented. In one example, an image sensor system includes a plurality of sensor elements; a photosensitive layer coupled to the plurality of sensor elements; a plurality of floating diffusion regions in communication with the photo-sensitive layer, each floating diffusion region of the plurality of floating diffusion regions configured to be selectively enabled; and at least one bridge coupled to two floating diffusion regions of the plurality of floating diffusion regions, the bridge configured to be selectively enabled and, when enabled, to allow a transfer of charge between the two floating diffusion regions. 本发明呈现用于具有结合可配置共享浮动扩散的像素分仓的图像传感器的方法、系统、计算机可读媒体和设备。在个实例中，种图像传感器系统包含：多个传感器元件；光敏层，其耦合到所述多个传感器元件；多个浮动扩散区，其与所述光敏层通信，所述多个浮动扩散区中的每浮动扩散区经配置以选择性地启用；以及或多个桥接器，其耦合到所述多个浮动扩散区中的两个浮动扩散区，所述桥接器经配置以选择性地启用，且在启用时，允许电荷在所述两个浮动扩散区之间传送。
