    Abstract: The present invention provides an image data sensing system comprising a controller and at least one image sensor connected in series. The controller comprises a control input port and a control output port. The controller transmits a command signal or a synchronizing signal to all image sensors via the control output port, and the image sensor transmits image data to the controller via the control input port.
