Abstract

A photoarray for detecting time-dependent image data, comprising an array of multiple device cells, wherein each device cell comprises a group of photosensors, each photosensor configured to generate an analog sensor signal dependent on a light intensity at said photosensor, for each photosensor a pixel encoding circuit configured to transform the analog sensor signal generated by said photosensor into a digital pixel information stemming from said photosensor, and a processing unit, which comprises a correlation logic configured to correlate said pixel information stemming from the photosensors of said group of photosensors and to produce as a result a request signal indicating that said cell contains pixel information to be read and/or a pass signal utilized in the processing unit to allow pixel information contained in said cell to be transmitted.
