IMAGE DEVICE HAVING A PLURALITY OF DETECTORS IN A TIME DELAY AND INTEGRATION (TDI) CONFIGURATION AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

摘要

In certain embodiments, an imaging device includes an image sensor that includes a detector array. The detector array includes a plurality of detectors operable to receive a charge generated by light. The detector array also includes a plurality of detector sub-arrays each including one or more of the plurality of detectors. The one or more detectors of each detector sub-array are in a time delay and integration (TDI) configuration. The image sensor of the imaging device is operable to, for each of the plurality of detector sub-arrays of the detector array, generate an image signal corresponding to a scan of an object.
