Imaging subsystem employing a bidirectional shift register

摘要

An imaging subsystem is provided which includes imaging pixels arranged in rows and columns of an array. Each imaging pixel is configured to generate pixel data corresponding to a portion of an image and transfer the pixel data along its columns toward a first of the rows. Also included is a bidirectional shift register configured to receive the pixel data from the first of the rows of the array and shift the pixel data toward either a first end or a second end of the bidirectional shift register.
