FRAME IMAGE DIGITISATION APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06T9/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus comprises a lens, an image detector having an array situated in the focal plane of the lens, the array having elements which are converters for converting radiation to codes based on the frame resolution number 106, each having an opaque housing in the front part of which, in a partition wall, there is a microlens, on the optical axis of which and at an angle of 45° thereto semitransparent micromirrors are arranged in series and rigidly mounted based on the number of bits per code, each preceding micromirror transmitting to the next micromirror radiation flux with half the strength.

EFFECT: high speed of frame digitisation.
