ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for capturing an image in accordance with the invention includes a full frame charge coupled device with a photosensitive layer and a mask covering a portion of said photosensitive layer with a plurality of apertures. The apparatus also includes an exposure controller for controlling the exposure of the photosensitive layer to the image to be captured and also a shifter for shifting either the image or the full frame charge coupled device to expose a different portion of the image to the photosensitive layer through the apertures. With this invention, a high resolution image can be captured with a full frame CCD image sensor, without loss of resolution. As a result, a lower cost imaging apparatus can be obtained without loss of resolution.
