3.1 pixel array structure
The OV5647 sensor has an image array of 2624 columns by 1956 rows (5,132,544 pixels). figure 3-1 shows a
cross-section of the image sensor array.
The color filters are arranged in a Bayer pattern. The primary color BG/GR array is arranged in line-alternating fashion.
Of the 5,132,544 pixels, 5,038,848 (2592x1944) are active pixels and can be output. The other pixels are used for black
level calibration and interpolation. The center 2592x1944 is suggested to be output from the whole active pixel array. The
backend processor can use the boundary pixels for additional processing.
The sensor array design is based on a field integration read-out system with line-by-line transfer and an electronic shutter
with a synchronous pixel read-out scheme.
