ABSTRACT:
A single chip camera which includes andelete-start id="REI-00001" date="20111129" ?intergrateddelete-end id="REI-00001" ?insert-start id="REI-00002" date="20111129" ?integratedinsert-end id="REI-00002" ?image acquisition portion and control portion and which has double sampling
oise reduction capabilities thereon. Part of thedelete-start id="REI-00003" date="20111129" ?intergrateddelete-end id="REI-00003" ?insert-start id="REI-00004" date="20111129" ?integratedinsert-end id="REI-00004" ?structure reduces the noise that is picked up during imaging.
