TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a sensing module that uses a number of readout passages in parallel to produce several segmented outputs from the image sensor and subsequently combine the outputs to produce an interleaved scanning signal under a sequence of control signals derived from a sensor clock signal.Abstract:
The present invention has been made in consideration of accommodating a higher sensor clock signal to increase the pixel readout rate from a regular image sensor and has particular applications to generating high-resolution and high-speed images from scanning objects. The sensing module in the present invention uses a number of readout passages in parallel to produce several segmented outputs from the image sensor and subsequently combine the outputs to produce an interleaved scanning signal under a sequence of control signals derived from a sensor clock signal.read more

Systems and Methods for Synthesizing Images from Image Data Captured by an Array Camera Using Restricted Depth of Field Depth Maps in which Depth Estimation Precision Varies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system for generating restricted depth of field depth maps from a reference viewpoint using a set of images captured from different viewpoints, where depth estimation precision is higher for pixels with depth estimates within the range of distances corresponding to the restricted depth-of-field and lower for pixels having depth estimates outside of the ranges of distances correspond to the restrictions.

Fast frame rate sensor readout
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a method for readout of an area image sensor at greatly increased frame rates, doing so by formatting the sensor into blocks of photosite rows for purposes of readout, and modifying the method of sensor readout in a manner compatible with such format.

Multiplexing arrangement for controlling data produced by a color images sensor array
TL;DR: In this paper, a color image sensor array for both synchronous and asynchronous operation was adapted for using fabricated full width arrays, in which the chip has three photosites per pixel. And the control circuit for charge transfer uses several components in common and requires no memory buffers to obtain full color information for each pixel on a page being scanned.

Solid state imager with transfer smear suppression for moving and stationary images
TL;DR: In this article, a field transfer imager is erased after every field transfer, prior to a new field of pixels-descriptive charge packet being accumulated in the successive charge transfer stages of the image register.
