IMAGING SUBSYSTEM EMPLOYING BIDIRECTIONAL SHIFT REGISTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology of facilitating extraction of signals in the case of using a plurality of mirror lenses. SOLUTION: An imaging subsystem 100 is provided, which includes imaging pixels 102 arranged in rows 104 and columns 106 of an array 101. Each imaging pixel 102 is configured to generate pixel data corresponding to a portion of an image and transfer the pixel data along its columns 106 toward a first 107 of the rows 104. Also included is a bidirectional shift register 108 configured to receive the pixel data from the first 107 of the rows 104 of the array 101 and shift the pixel data toward either a first end 109 or a second end 111 of the bidirectional shift register 108.
