IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce FPN generated due to variation in sensitivity at each pixel or variation in dark current caused by thermal energy irrespective of incident light at each pixel by one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally processing signals in an imaging device using an image sensor.SOLUTION: A positional relationship between incident light and a pixel group of an image sensor is not fixed but changed to generate respective pieces of pixel information of output video using a plurality of pixels of the image sensor, and they are averaged at a poststage to form final output video. Thereby, FPN is averaged to be reduced.
