A time-delay-integration image sensor comprises a matrix of pixels organized in rows and columns. Each pixel comprises a first photosensitive element, a storage node and a first transfer element connected between the first photosensitive element and the storage node, Each pixel further comprises a second photosensitive element, a second transfer element connected between the second photosensitive element and the storage node, and a third transfer element connected between the storage node and the second photosensitive element of an adjacent pixel of the column. A control circuit is configured to simultaneously command the first and second transfer elements to on state and the third transfer element to off state, and, in a distinct phase, to simultaneously command the first and third transfer elements to on state and the second transfer element to off state.
A time-delay-integration image sensor comprising a matrix of pixels organized in rows and columns, each pixel comprising:
A method for management of a time-delay-integration image sensor comprising a matrix of pixels organized in rows and columns, comprising, for each pixel of a column, the successive steps of:
