    摘要: A solid state image sensor comprising a matrix of photosensitive elements adapted to accumulate signal charges corresponding to at least two different aspect ratios, a plurality of vertical shift registers disposed adjacent to columns of the photosensitive elements for a vertical transfer of the signal charges and a plurality of horizontal shift registers corresponding to the respective aspect ratios and disposed in parallel with each other for a horizontal transfer of the signal charges from the vertical shift registers. As a horizontal shift register exclusive to each aspect ratio is provided in the above manner, it is no longer necessary to superimpose the signal outputs of a plurality of buffer amplifiers so that a picture signal corresponding to the desired aspect ratio can be easily read out.

    摘要: A single-output CCD image sensor selectively transfers a normal or a mirror image without changing the combination of clock signals needed by the HCCD. The CCD image sensor comprises VCCD's arrayed in each row, photodiodes connected to the VCCD's through transfer gates, and an upper HCCD connected to one end of the VCCD's. A rotating part for connecting one end of the upper and lower HCCD's as used for one of the normal or mirror image serial transfers. A control gate formed in parallel between the upper and the lower HCCD is used for the other of the normal or mirror image serial transfers, and operates in parallel. An output circuit is connected to the other end of the lower HCCD.

    摘要: A signal converting device receives input data obtained by continuously scanning data for a predetermined period along one of i axes X1, X2 . . . Xi of an imaginary i-dimensional spatial coordinate system, where the data exists in given space-time regions a1, a2 . . . ai extending along these axes. The device processes the data in a given sub time-space region Nj included in any time-space region aj (where j=1, 2 . . . i) at a magnification specific to a given sub time-space region Mj (1.ltoreq.j.ltoreq.i). As a result, the device outputs new data existing in the sub time-space region Mj. The region Mj is identical to the sub time-space region Nj, or exists outside the time-space region aj. The device has an input data item converter that converts the input data items so that the product of output data items existing in small regions Lm of ordinates representing spatial positions in the sub time-space region Mj extending along at least one axis Xj is nearly equal to the product of the corresponding input data items existing in small regions Ln or ordinates representing spatial positions or is nearly equal to K times a given constant other than zero, and for converting data items existing in one axis while data items on any other axis remain in a fixed state.

    摘要: A method of driving a solid-state imaging device having photoelectric converting elements arranged in rows and columns, charge-transferring stages associated with the photoelectric converting elements and arranged in rows and columns, and horizontal transfer registers. During the period of each even-numbered field, these components of the device are driven, such that the pixel charges are transferred from the photoelectric converting elements to the associated charge-transferring stages, and then to the horizontal transfer registers. During the period of each odd-numbered field, the components of the device are driven, such that the pixel charges accumulated in any odd-numbered row of the stages are transferred to the charge-transferring stages of the preceding odd-numbered row, thus jumping over those pixel charges in the elements of the preceding even-numbered row, and are then transferred to the horizontal transfer registers.

    摘要: A radiation profile line originates from illuminating a scene by a fan beam of radiation and imaging the thus illuminated scene on a surface of an array of photosensitive elements. A read-out circuit has inputs connected to associated detection elements in the uppermost row. The read-out circuit comprises level detector circuitry to have the output signals of the columns take up either a "1" state or a "0" state. The outputs of the level detector curcuitry, each one of which corresponds to one of the inputs, are connected to a circuit that delivers a digital code representative of the position of the element in the uppermost row which has received the largest amount of light.

    摘要: There is disclosed a solid-state imaging device comprising: a column direction transfer section arranged in parallel to photosensitive element trains, and capable of transferring, in column directions opposite to each other, signal charges produced in photosensitive elements; row direction transfer sections arranged on the both end sides of the column direction transfer section, respectively, and at least one transfer order conversion section provided between the row direction transfer section on one side and the column direction transfer section. In this solid-state imaging device, there is employed a scheme such that the transfer direction of the transfer in a column direction (first field transfer) of signal charges produced from photosensitive pixels of the odd rows and the transfer direction of the transfer in a column direction (second field transfer) of signal charges produced from photosensitive pixels of the odd rows are caused to be opposite to each other, and that the transfer order is reversed by the transfer order conversion section on one side to output signal charges in a reversed transfer order. Transfer between row direction transfer devices is therefore not required.
