Abstract
An imaging system (fig.1) includes an image array sensor (101) including a plurality of pixels (102). Each pixel (102) generates a signal indicative of the amount of light received on the pixel. The imaging system further includes an analog to digital converter (103) for converting the signals from the pixels into a digital value. The system further includes a memory (106) including a plurality of allocated storage locations for storing the digital values from the converter. The number of allocated storage locations in the memory is less than the number of pixels in the image array sensor.
