FIELD: physics; image processing.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems for forming and processing image data, which are used in video cameras for recording moving images, still image electronic cameras and tracking devices. The technical outcome is achieved due to that, the device for taking images and a device for compressing images are integrally connected using a wiring layer, formed on the surface of the device for taking images, lying opposite the surface of the device for taking images on which light is incident. The device for taking images provides for image data processing modules in series, related to the image compression process. Image data of the partial region in the effective imaging region are pre-compressed for detecting code values. The data compression ratio is determined based on the code value, and image data are compressed with that image compression ratio.
EFFECT: design of a simple structure, which allows for efficient use of high degree of freedom for reading image data.
