  • Publication number: 20170201663
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, an imaging system and related method are disclosed. In one embodiment, an imaging system comprises an image sensor comprising offset arrays of pixel electrodes to read out a signal from the image sensor. In this embodiment, the arrays of pixel electrodes are offset by less than the size of a pixel region of the image sensor. The embodiment also includes circuitry configured to select one of the offset arrays of pixel electrodes to read out a signal from the image sensor. Other embodiments of imaging systems and related methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9609190
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, an imaging system and method are provided. In an embodiment, the system comprises a first image sensor array, a first optical system to project a first image on the first image sensor array, the first optical system having a first zoom level. A second optical system is to project a second image on a second image sensor array, the second optical system having a second zoom level. The second image sensor array and the second optical system are pointed in the same direction as the first image sensor array and the first optical system. The second zoom level is greater than the first zoom level such that the second image projected onto the second image sensor array is a zoomed in on portion of the first image projected on the first image sensor array. The first image sensor array includes at least four megapixels and the second image sensor array includes one-half or less than the number of pixels in the first image sensor array.
