Electronic image sensor with read out of signals from individual sensors so that overlapping image regions are only read once

摘要

The image sensor (01) has several individual sensors (02,03,04,06) at spaced positions on a common carrier (07), each having a number of light-sensitive pixels in a row, each providing an electrical signal representing the incident light at the given pixel position, converted into image information by an evaluation unit. The image sensor is spaced relative to the examined object (09) so that the image regions received by the individual sensors overlap, the pixels of at least one sensor only partially read, so that the overlap areas are only read once by the evaluation unit. An Independent claim for an evaluation method for an electronic image sensor having individual sensors with overlapping image regions is also included.
