FRAME IMAGE DIGITISATION APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G06T9/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises making each array element in an image sensor from one "R, G, B radiation colour brightness to code" converter, which performs parallel synchronous conversion of radiation of three colours analogue video signals R, G, B into three codes. The frame image digitisation apparatus includes an objective lens, an image sensor comprising an array of elements, three switch units, three register units and a control signal generator, wherein each switch unit includes the same number of encoders as converters.

EFFECT: reduced cross dimensions of array elements in an image sensor, which enables to reduce the frame format size or increase resolution of the image sensor.
