Method for eradicating smear in a charge-coupled device camera

摘要

A smear noise eradication method in a charge-coupled device (CCD) type camera comprises the steps of inputting respective image signals from one pair of CCD image pick-up devices whose lengthwise directions of corresponding vertical CCDs are perpendicularly disposed with respect to each other, and which are installed on an optical path, and eradicating smear noise after comparing the one pair of image signals according to corresponding pixels. Using the one pair of CCD image pick-up devices, the image signals of the CCD image pick-up devices are compared with each other. When the smear noise is generated, it is eradicated to obtain a high quality image signal.
