A spatially offset, row interpolated image sensor includes a linear array sensor (18) having a first row (30) of longitudinally extending pixels with a first spatial periodicity (W1) and a second row (32) of longitudinally extending pixels having a second spatial periodicity (W2) laterally adjacent the first row (30) and longitudinally staggered with respect to the first row (30); and a read circuit (19) for individually, selectively sampling pixels of the rows (30, 32) for producing a composite output which has a combined spatial periodicity which is shorter than either of the first and second spatial periodicities (W1, W2) and has a number of samples equal to the combined samples of both the rows (30, 32). |
