Abstract: Systems and methods for eliminating or mitigating T-effects on Hall sensors. A system may comprise a magnet-coil arrangement for providing a relative movement therebetween to obtain a relative position, a Hall sensor for sensing the relative movement, a temperature sensor located in proximity of the Hall sensor for providing temperature sensing, and a controller having two or more channels coupled to Hall sensor and to the temperature sensor and configured to control the relative movement and to provide, based on the temperature sensing, a temperature correction input to the Hall sensor for compensating a temperature effect on the Hall sensor sensing.

Abstract: Cameras with OIS capable of performing multi zoom super macro photography and handheld electronic devices comprising such cameras. A camera may include a lens comprising N lens elements L1-LN divided into two or more lens groups arranged along a lens optical axis starting with L1 on an object side and ending with LN on an image side, adjacent lens groups separated by a respective air-gap d1 along the lens optical axis; an image sensor with a sensor diagonal SD between 7 and 20 mm separated from lens element LN by an air-gap d2 along the lens optical axis; and an actuator for controlling air-gaps d1 and d2 to switch the camera between M≥1 operative pop-out states and a collapsed state and to focus the camera on an object at an object-lens distance of less than 30 cm.

Abstract: Indirect time-of-flight (i-ToF) image sensor pixels, i-ToF image sensors including such pixels, stereo cameras including such image sensors, and sensing methods to obtain i-ToF detection and phase detection information using such image sensors and stereo cameras. An i-ToF image sensor pixel may comprise a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel including a photodiode, a single microlens covering the plurality of sub-pixels and a read-out circuit for extracting i-ToF phase signals of each sub-pixel individually.

Abstract: Systems, imaging devices and methods for creating background blur in camera panning or motion. Using an imaging device with an image sensor, a method may comprise selecting an object to be tracked in a scene, recording an image or an image stream, and aligning the selected object optically and/or digitally to a same position on the image sensor while the selected object moves relative to the imaging device or relative to the scene, thereby creating a blurred image background and/or foreground relative to the selected object and a sense of panning or motion.
