METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGING AN OBJECT |
| 摘要 |
An apparatus for imaging an object has an image sensor that comprises a plurality of pixels. The plurality of pixels is matrix-arrayed along vertical and horizontal directions. The apparatus also has an image sensor driver that drives the image sensor, and the image sensor driver is capable of reading image-pixel signals of neighboring pixels among the plurality of pixels while mixing the image-pixel signals. The apparatus also has a pixel addition setting processor that sets the number of pixel addition with respect to at least one of at least one row and at least one column. The pixel addition setting processor sets different numbers of pixel addition to different pixel areas. The image sensor driver reads the image-pixel signals in response to the set number of pixel addition. |

1. An apparatus for imaging an object, comprising:
an image sensor that comprises a plurality of pixels, the plurality of pixels being matrix-arrayed along vertical and horizontal directions; an image sensor driver that drives said image sensor, said image sensor driver being capable of reading image-pixel signals of neighboring pixels among the plurality of pixels while mixing the image-pixel signals; and a pixel addition setting processor that sets the number of pixel addition with respect to at least one of at least one row and at least one column, said pixel addition setting processor setting different numbers of pixel addition to different pixel areas, said image sensor driver reading the image-pixel signals in response to the set number of pixel addition. |
