Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: providing an image sensor integrated circuit having a two-dimensional image sensor, the two-dimensional image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in repetitive patterns, each pattern of the repetitive patterns comprising at least one pixel sensitive in a first spectrum region, at least one pixel sensitive in a second spectrum region, and at least one pixel sensitive in a third spectrum region; reading out a plurality of analog signals, each analog signal of the plurality of analog signals being representative of light incident on a group of pixels of the plurality of pixels, the plurality of analog signals being representative of at least two groups of pixels, wherein the at least two groups of pixels overlap, and wherein the reading out comprises transferring charges of pixels of a plurality of rows of pixels of the two-dimensional image sensor to an output register prior to shifting pixel charges from the output register to an analog amplifier; converting the plurality of analog signals to a plurality of digital signals; and processing the frame of image data.
