ABSTRACT:
An image-processor for shooting images at a high frame rate in time series maintaining a high sensitivity and a high speed is provided. The image-processor comprises a high-speed image-obtaining unit1for arranging the imaging elements in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional manner to obtain images at a high frame rate, a pixel selection unit2for selecting pixels constituting the image maintaining a predetermined sampling interval, and a peripheral pixel value addition unit3for a adding up pixel values of pixels selected by the pixel selection unit2and pixel values of peripheral pixeling. It comprises further a pixel value adjusting unit4for adjusting the pixel values of the sample pixels calculated by the peripheral pixel value addition unit3so as to be suited as pixel values of the output image, and an image output unit5for producing pixel values of sample pixels calculated by the pixel value adjusting unit4as an image of one frame.
