Abstract:
The present disclosure generally pertains to autofocus imaging circuitry, configured to: obtain, for a first adjusted focus, a first plurality of brightness change events from a brightness change event detection element; obtain, for a second adjusted focus, a second plurality of brightness change events from the brightness change event detection element; and determine a focus based on the first and the second plurality of brightness change events for autofocusing a scene.
