Abstract
A CCD imager in which charges are read from the imager in serial fashion in the row direction a group of adjacent rows at a time. The charge packets of one row of a group are interleaved or read concurrently with those of other rows of the group during read out. Vertical interlacing is obtained by grouping the rows in different ways during the respective odd and even fields of an interlaced frame. Colors may be sensed by employing color filters in a particular pattern at the respective integration sites of the array.
