Abstract
A reduced size solid state camera includes an array of detectors having reading circuits and electronic row and column scanning circuits utilizing CCD-type structures. Each of the column scanning circuits has an integrated part adjacent the detectors with a spacing equal to or smaller than that of the rows of detectors. The movement of the image to be photographed takes place in a direction perpendicular to the columns of detectors and may occur in two successive opposite directions. A scanning circuit for the row supplies a signal representing an image for each image movement direction. The circuitry includes a signal processor which sums up the signals corresponding to the same element of the image that has moved passed all of the detectors of a row.
