Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method comprising: sending radiation pulses (i), i=1, . . . , M one by one toward an object and toward an image sensor as the image sensor moves nonstop in a first direction with respect to the object; and for each value of i, capturing with the image sensor a partial image (i) of the object using radiation of the radiation pulse (i) that has transmitted through the object. The image sensor comprises N active areas. Each active area of the N active areas comprises multiple sensing elements. For each value of i, the radiation pulse (i) has a pulse duration during which the image sensor travels a distance shorter than a width measured in the first direction of any sensing element of the image sensor. M and N are integers greater than 1.

A method of operation of image sensor, comprising:
- sending radiation pulses (i), i=1, . . . , M one by one toward an object and toward the image sensor as the image sensor moves nonstop in a first direction with respect to the object;
- and
- for each value of i, capturing with the image sensor a partial image (i) of the object using radiation of the radiation pulse (i) that has transmitted through the object,
- wherein the image sensor comprises N active areas,
- wherein each active area of the N active areas comprises multiple sensing elements,
- wherein for each value of i, the radiation pulse (i) has a pulse duration during which the image sensor travels a distance shorter than a width measured in the first direction of any sensing element of the image sensor, and
- wherein M and N are integers greater than 1.
