Abstract
A pixel matrix includes a sub-matrix of four adjacent pixels. Each of the pixels of the sub-matrix comprises: a set of a photoelectric-effect element and a memory point, a detection node, a transfer gate. The binning stage is connected to the set and is common with an adjacent pixel of the sub-matrix. At least one detection node per sub-matrix is common to two adjacent pixels of the sub-matrix. The pixel matrix furthermore comprises at least one readout stage per sub-matrix, connected to the common detection node.
