An integrated image sensor for acquiring and processing electrical signals representative of an object comprising a photosite array configured to convert light into the electrical signals, an A/D converter configured to convert the electrical signals into digital data, and logic integral with the image sensor configured to scale the digital data by a non-integer-scaling factor. A method for acquiring and processing image data with an integrated image sensor comprising the steps of capturing, via the image sensor, the image data representative of an image, scaling, via the image sensor, the image data by a non-integer value, and outputting from the integrated image sensor scaled image data.

Image sensor for capturing and filtering image data

A processing system retrieves selected compressed audio data from a compact disc and produces sound based on the retrieved data. In this regard, the processing system utilizes a disc storage mechanism, a processing element, a system manager, and an audio output device. A compact disc is inserted into the disc storage mechanism. The system manager receives inputs from a user and, in response to the user inputs, reads organizational structure information stored on the compact disc. Based on the inputs and the organizational structure information, the system manager identifies a set of compressed data stored on the compact disc. The system manager retrieves instructions of a decompression application from the compact disc and transmits these instructions to the processing element. The processing element executes the received instructions, thereby decompressing the set of compressed data into uncompressed data. The uncompressed data is transmitted to the audio output device, which produces sound based on the uncompressed data.
