Analog Image Processing2.1 OutlineAnalog image processing is performed by the CCD/AP PCB, which has the followingmajor functions:[1] Drives the CCD.[2] Corrects the gain in the CCD output, corrects offset.[3] Performs A/D conversion of CCD output.F03-201-012.2 Driving the CCDThe machine’s CCD sensor is a single-line linear image sensor, and is composed of 7450pixel photo cells.The signals subjected to phtoconversion in the light-receiving segment are sent out in twotypes of analog signals: even-number (EVEN) pixels and odd-number (ODD) pixels.F03-202-01 CCD Block Diagram
