A variable resolution imager and method of forming output signals from a variable resolution imager are described. An imager having a number of pixels is provided. The variable resolution imager is accomplished by binning selected groups of pixels in various sections of the imager together, thereby forming regions of variable resolution. The larger the number of pixels binned together the lower the resolution of that section of the imager. The binning is controlled by programming signals to the imager so that the resolution can be changed within a frame or between frames. The resolution can be controlled by a computer processor or by an operator. Feedback of the output of the imager can be used to determine the resolution of various sections of the imager.
(ZH) 描述了一种可变分辨率成像器以及形成从可变分辨率成像器输出的输出信号的方法。提供了一种具有多个像素的成像器。通过把这种成像器的各部分中所选择的像素组集结在一起，从而形成可变分辨率的区域，实现可变分辨率成像器。集结在一起的像素的数目越大，成像器的该部分的分辨率就越低。通过对到成像器的信号编程来对像素的集结进行控制，以便可在一个帧内或在多个帧之间改变分辨率。可由计算机处理器或操作员对分辨率加以控制。可以把成像器输出的反馈用于确定成像器的各个部分的分辨率。
