PCT No. PCT/CA94/00347 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 26, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 26, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 17, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/01045 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 5, 1995An electronic apparatus for converting a visible image of an object into a digital representation of this visible image is described. The apparatus comprises a cartridge having a first portion through which light emitted from a visible image of an object enters into the cartridge, which comprises an array of focusing elements, each of which having a field of vision intersecting a given area of the visible image. Adjacent ones of these focusing elements have fields of vision intersecting common portions of the visible image, whereby substantially the entirety of the visible image is covered by combined fields of vision of focusing elements. The cartridge further compised an array of optical sensors arrays, each wich is optically associated with a respective one of the focusing elements. These optical sensors arrays produce groups of analog pixel signals representing partial images associated with corresponding areas of the visible image. The apparatus further comprises a controller interface and a computer controller for converting groups of digital pixel signals into composite digital pixel signals associated with the respective points of the visible image, thereby forming a composite digital representation of the visible image.
