Abstract

An imager comprises an image sensor that has a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns, wherein each pixel comprises a light-sensitive detector element for generating electric charge from light incident during an exposure, and a reset device to reset charge present in the pixel to a reference value. The imager has a control device that is configured to couple a respective pixel to the associated column line in order to successively output a reference voltage signal, which corresponds to the reference value, and an image voltage signal, which corresponds to the electric charge generated, at the associated column line. The imager has a first analog-to-digital converter and a second analog-to-digital converter. The control device is configured to apply the reference voltage signal to a signal input of the first analog-to-digital converter and to simultaneously apply the image voltage signal to a signal input of the second analog-to-digital converter.

Abstract

A method of compressing image data is described in which a difference value is formed for a respective pixel, said difference value corresponding to a predetermined relation between the pixel value and the estimated pixel value of the respective pixel and being represented by a first binary word that has a first length. The first binary word is encoded by at least one second binary word that has a second predetermined length. the first length is compared with the second length to determine whether the first length is smaller than the second length, with the first binary word otherwise being completely encoded by a single second binary word when the first length is smaller than the second length, and with the first binary word otherwise being completely encoded by a plurality of second binary words. A method of decompressing image data is furthermore described that corresponds to a reversal of the compression method.
