Abstract:
1. A Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera comprising: a controller for processing CCD data corresponding to electric signals generated by an imaging unit in response to incident light, wherein the CCD data comprises odd field CCD data and even field CCD data, the controller being configured to generate an image by adding offset values to the odd field CCD data and the even field CCD data, wherein the controller is configured to add offset values to the odd field CCD data and the even field CCD data by generating a second odd field by combining CCD data of another odd field with average values of the odd field CCD data and the even field CCD data, and by generating a second even field by combining CCD data of another even field with average values of the odd field CCD data and the even field CCD data.
