A high-resolution image sensor uses integrated arrays of photosensitive elements in connection with a lens system which projects, onto the arrays, an erect, unmagnified, unreversed real image of the object being sensed (such as a line of a document). The arrays are staggered in two or more rows so that a single, large integrated array need not be used, yet the entire width of the document line can be covered by photosensitive elements while a 1:1 ratio is maintained between object size and image size. The real image is produced on the two or more rows of arrays by two or more optical systems which have a large depth-of-focus to allow for some variation in object distance. The sensor has a high image quality and is capable of detecting color.
