1. An imaging system for generating an image, comprising:
a plurality of imaging units coupled together; and a system controller coupled to the plurality of imaging units for providing at least one signal to each of the plurality of imaging units; wherein each of the imaging units comprises:
an image sensing unit for generating an in-situ image, each in-situ image being a portion of the image,a sampling unit that generates a sampled image by performing, on the in-situ image, at least one sampling operation selected from the group consisting of:
(a) reducing distortion of the in-situ image by sampling a first portion of the in-situ image at a first sampling frequency and sampling a second portion of the in-situ image at a second sampling frequency, the first and second sampling frequencies being different,(b) cropping the in-situ image,(c) rotating the in-situ image,(d) reducing slanting artifact,(e) sampling only preselected rows of the in-situ image and discarding nonselected rows of the in-situ image, and(f) sampling only preselected columns of the in-situ image and discarding nonselected columns of the in-situ image,a composition unit for receiving a first composite image and producing a second composite image, the second composite image being a combination of the first composite image and the sampled image, andan output at which the second composite image is provided. |
