REAL-TIME IMAGE CAPTURE AND DISPLAY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04N5/232 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: imaging device comprises i) an image sensor having a radiation-sensitive matrix for capturing an image, ii) a reading circuit connected to the radiation-sensitive matrix for reading an image, iii) a signal processor for processing an image, for obtaining a processed image and iv) a display device for displaying a processed image, wherein the radiation-sensitive matrix is composed of sensor pixel lines and the display device is composed of display device pixel lines, and wherein the reading circuit is a sliding gate circuit for sequential reading of sensor pixel lines, for sequentially providing pixel subsets; the signal processor is configured to, in the presence of one of the pixel subsets, process the pixel subset to provide a processed pixel subset, and the display device is configured to, in the presence of a processed pixel subset, display the processed pixel subset on the corresponding pixel subset of the display device, for displaying a processed image sequentially on pixel lines of the display device.

EFFECT: designing a device for imaging and displaying images in real time with reduced delay, with accessibility of the image in digital form at the intermediate stage to enable signal processing.
