Abstract:
1. An image capturing system comprising: a circuit board defining at least two sensor sites; a data bus electrically connecting said at least two sensor sites to a data output connection associated with said circuit board; at least two sensor units, each sensor unit incorporating an imaging chip defining a plurality of pixels and a connection electrically engaged with one of said at least two sensor sites such that each of said at least two sensor units are electrically connected to said data bus; a processor electrically connected to said data bus, said processor adapted to process pixel data from each of said at least two sensor units prior to such pixel data reaching said data output connection; a data sharing module associated with said data bus for sharing data with a second processor electronically connected to a second circuit board, the second processor adapted to process pixel data from each of at least two second circuit board sensor units prior to such pixel data reaching a second circuit board data output connection.
