Abstract
A method of detecting pulsed radiation comprising the steps of irradiating at least a portion of an array of sensor elements with pulsed radiation (); addressing the array using a rolling shutter operation (); reading the array to obtain a radiation image (); and then applying a pulse detection operation () to the radiation image. The rolling shutter operation () is configured to address each element line of the array for a predetermined integration period. The predetermined integration period being calculated using an integration period function, itself a function of an anticipated pulse repetition interval of the pulsed radiation. The method and apparatus for the same enable low cost camera arrays to be used for pulse detection and for wider application in the field of low cost communications.
