Binning charges in CCD sensors wherein:

• the colours of the colour filter array are preserved;
• the colours of the colour filter array are mixed;
• weighted addition or low pass filtering is performed.

Binning of charges or adding signals in CMOS sensors wherein:

• the colours of the colour filter array are preserved;
• the colours of the colour filter array are mixed;
• weighted addition or low pass filtering is performed.

Binning of charges in CMOS sensors wherein:

• charges of different photodiodes are added to a shared floating diffusion;
• a photodiode is connectable to a different shared floating diffusion.

Combining of pixel voltage or current signals in CMOS sensors wherein:

• the combining is implemented in the ADC – typically the counter or the memory of the ADC is arranged to perform addition of the pixel signals;
• the combining is implemented in a column amplifier;
• column processing analogue circuits are used to perform addition in h- or v- direction;
• summing of the currents of several source followers is used.
