ABSTRACT:
A high speed imaging apparatus comprises an imaging sensor composed of a multiplicity of photoelectric converting elements which are two-dimensionally arrayed, the imaging sensor being sectioned into a plurality of blocks by effecting predetermined splitting in a vertical row direction and in a horizontal column direction and the blocks including photoelectric converting element groups, vertical and horizontal scanning circuit capable of parallel-reading of the photoelectric converting element groups of the respective blocks in vertical and horizontal direction, and a drive circuit for driving the vertical and horizontal scanning circuit so as to sequentially selecting one or plurality of the blocks within said imaging sensor which are then read and scanned. The imaging apparatus may further comprise an operation sensor for detecting a moving direction of an object, a control unit for calculating the blocks to be selected and a reading order of the selected blocks in response to a signal from the operation sensor, and a block selection address generation circuit through which an output signal from the control unit is inputted to the drive circuit so as to sequentially change over the blocks of the imaging sensor in accordance with the moving direction of the object.
