An in-situ storage image sensor (ISIS) capable of taking moving images at a rate of 1, 000, 000-pps is proposed. The concept is characterized as follows:(1)The CCD strips for image-signal storage are vertically elongated, extending through several pixels, while those previously proposed are all folded or bent to be placed within a pixel. (2)The CCD strips have dual roles of image-signal storage and readout.
The uni-direction transfer (1) and the dual-role CCD (2) make the proposed sensor simplest, and, thus, best among ISISs, contributing to higher frame rate, more successive-ly-stored frame numbers, and better quality of reproduced images.
