    Abstract: An image signal is produced by adding output signals from arrays of photoelectric transducer elements of adjacent two of a plurality of image sensors. Output signals from all of the image sensors are combined into an image signal representative of image information along one main scanning line. One of the output signals is gradually increased from an actual level thereof to a predetermined offset level in an interval during which the output signals start being added to each other. The other of the output signals is gradually reduced from the predetermined offset level to an actual level thereof in an interval during which the output signals stop being added to each other, whereby the output signals are smoothly combined with each other.

    Abstract: An array of linear CCD image sensors comprises first, second and third CCD image sensors arranged in spaced parallel relation on a body of a semiconductor material. Each CCD image sensor comprises a row of photodetectors, a CCD shift register extending along the row of photodetectors and an output circuit at one end of the CCD shift register. All of the output circuits are at a common end of their respective CCD shift registers. Each CCD shift register includes first and second sets of gate electrodes alternating along the CCD shift register. A first bus line connects the first gate electrodes of each CCD shift register and a second bus line electrically connects the second gate electrodes of each CCD shift register. One of the bus lines of the second CCD shift register is electrically connected to a bus line of the first CCD shift register, and the other bus line of the second CCD shift register is electrically connected to a bus line of the third CCD shift register. This allows all of the bus lines to extend around the output circuits without extending the space between the image sensors.

    Abstract: A Television camera uses a pair of CCD imaging sensors (CCDA, CCDB), which are offset by half a pixel horizontally and one television line vertically and a beam splitter for focusing radiation from a scene to be imaged onto both imagers simultaneously. The outputs of the two imagers are digitized and combined at a compressed rate for recording on a digital cassette recorder. Signals may be read out from the cassette recorder at a quarter the rate they were input and subsequently processed to obtain a higher resolution, high speed image of the non-interlaced kind. The invention may be applied in the field of high definition television.

    Abstract: In reading of the original by a plurality of image pickup elements, the image is read by the image pickup elements covering overlapping image regions. Among those located within the overlapping portions, a pixel having small density change values with respect to adjacent pixels is detected and specified as a switching pixel. The image pickup signals read by the image pickup elements are connected at the switching pixels, thereby to obtain a reproduced image.
