Abstract
A solid state television camera, employing a charge-coupled device with image sensing cells aligned in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The positions of image sensing cells in one horizontal scanning line are shifted 180.degree. relative to those of the adjacent horizontal scanning line. Upon reading out image information, read-out signals of every other line are delayed by 180.degree.; then the image information of two adjacent horizontal scanning lines are mixed, whereby a sampling error is avoided.
Claims10
A solid state camera comprising:
- A solid state image sensor having a plurality of picture elements arranged in both vertical and horizontal directions, the sensing position of said picture elements in each horizontal line of successive scanning being spaced from the sensing position of picture elements in adjacent horizontal lines of successive scanning by .tau.H/.sup.2, where .tau. H is an alignment pitch of said picture elements in the horizontal direction, means for projecting an image on said solid state image sensor, means coupled to the picture elements for reading out the light information stored therein, and means for processing the output from said reading means to produce a resultant video signal.
