Abstract
A self scanning photodiode array allows low signal pixels to accumulate charge for multiples of predetermined exposure time tbefore being read. The pattern of exposures, the integers Mwhere I runs from 1 to N the number of pixels in the array, is chosen such that the pixels of interest accumulate as much charge as possible without exceeding saturation.
