Abstract
A device for time delay and integration imaging comprises: an array of pixels being arranged in rows and columns extending in a first and second direction, respectively. Pixels may accumulate generated charges in response to received electro-magnetic radiation along each column. The rows comprise at least one lateral charge shifting row to selectively shift accumulated charges in a column to an adjacent column and a controller configured to receive at least two angle correction input values. Each angle correction input value is based on a received intensity of electro-magnetic radiation on a measurement line, wherein the at least two angle correction input values are acquired by measurement lines extending in directions defining different angles in relation to the second direction, wherein the controller is configured to, based on the received at least two angle correction input values, control activation of the at least one lateral charge shifting row.
