Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 25:
26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the image sensor is configured to:
move a reset pointer across a plurality of reset pointer positions from a first side of the image sensor to a second side of the image sensor at a predetermined speed, wherein to reset each of the plurality of photodetectors, the image sensor is configured to reset a first photodetector of the plurality of photodetectors in response to the reset pointer reaching one of the plurality of reset pointer positions at which the first photodetector of the plurality of photodetectors is positioned; and
move a readout pointer across a plurality of readout pointer positions from the first side of the image sensor to the second side of the image sensor at the predetermined speed, wherein, to read the first digital pixel data from the first subset of the plurality of analog photodetector signals corresponding to the first group of image photodetectors, the image sensor is configured to read third digital pixel data corresponding to a second photodetector of the first group of image photodetectors in response to the readout pointer reaching one of the plurality of reset pointer positions at which the second photodetector of the first group of image photodetectors is positioned, wherein the predetermined speed is associated with a rolling shutter.
