An image sensor comprised of an array of photo elements (pixels) includes a device for randomly addressing individual pixels and a device for selectively varying the number of pixels which can be read out on any one reading cycle. The random addressing of pixels enables the readout of pixels located in selected regions of interest. Limiting the readout of the images to areas of interest allows an increase in the frame rate of the images. Relatively large groups of pixels can be read out simultaneously and the resulting signals can be merged into superpixel signals to provide high speed data capture, albeit at relatively lower resolution, since there will be a reduced number of data samples in each image. This feature is useful to rapidly scan and analyze a scene being viewed in order to locate an area of interest. Once an area of interest is located, the number of pixels read out on each cycle may be reduced to provide a higher resolution, lower speed, readout of the area of interest.

A photooptical sensor comprising: an array of pixels, each said pixel including means for providing a pixel signal related to the illumination incident on that pixel; and reading means coupled to the array for reading out said pixel signals cyclically so that each such reading cycle corresponds to the time interval in which one of said pixel signals is read out from one of said pixels, said reading means being operable to selectively vary the number of pixel signals read out on each such cycle so that on some of said reading cycles a plurality of said pixel signals are read out of said pixels simultaneously, whereas on others of said reading cycles only one of said pixel signals is read out of said pixels, said pixels being arranged in R rows and C columns, said columns extending generally transverse to said rows, where R and C are integers greater than one, said reading means including R row conductors, each said row conductor being associated with the pixels in one of said rows and C column conductors, each said column conductor being associated with the pixels in one of said columns, whereby each said pixel is associated with one said row conductor and one said column conductor, said reading means further including means for selectively energizing said row conductors and said column conductors on each reading cycle and selectively varying the number of row conductors and number of column conductors energized on each cycle, an output connection, and selective connecting means for connecting each pixel to said output connection in a given reading cycle only if both the row conductor and the column conductor associated with that pixel are energized during such cycle, whereby said reading means will select one or more of said pixels on each cycle, said selective connecting means including a row sense line associated with each said row of pixels, and means for connecting each said row sense line to said output connection only if the row conductor of the associated row of pixels is energized.
