Abstract: The present invention in general relates to a television camera for digital on-line image processing, comprising an optical imaging system which images an object area sensed by the camera into an image area adapted to be scanned element by element, and a processing circuit which produces video signals from the signals obtained with the scanning, the camera comprising a line sensor arranged in the optical image area, the line sensor being composed of sensor faces of a row of optical-electrical transducers so that the sensor faces are disposed in the optical images of correspondingly set-off elements of the object area and each sensor face defines, upon movement of the line sensor relative to the object area perpendicularly of the length of the line sensor, a scanning line.
