Abstract
The line transfer imager includes a matrix containing m lines of p photosites. The selection of the lines of this matrix for the readout of stored charges corresponding to an image is controlled by two shift registers for the selection of odd and even lines of the matrix respectively. The photosites of the odd lines of a single column have their charges transferred into a first line memory associated with a first charge transfer output register having p stages, while the photosites of the same column of the even lines have their charges transferred into a second line memory associated with a second charge transfer output register also having p stages, by means of two conducting columns C.sub.i and C'.sub.i which can be read simultaneously or successively.
