Analog voting with outlier suppression

A method including collecting analog image data from an imaging array wherein the analog image data includes analog image data from a plurality of imaging pixels and from a plurality of opaque pixels. Each row of the imaging array includes both imaging pixels and opaque pixels. Opaque subtraction is performed in an analog domain, wherein biases determined in the opaque pixels for a given row of the imaging array are subtracted from the analog image data of the imaging pixels of that given row for each row of the imaging array. Performing opaque subtraction includes suppressing outliers in the analog image data from the plurality of opaque pixels. The method includes performing analog to digital conversion (ADC) on the analog image data to produce digital image data for the imaging pixels. ADC is performed after opaque subtraction in the analog domain.
