Abstract
A method that can detect targets is described. The method includes setting an integration time for each of a plurality of readout circuits based on a speed of the target. The readout circuits are configured to read pixels in an image detector. The pixels have a pitch of less than ten micrometers. The integration time is not more than five hundred microseconds and corresponds to a subframe of a fast frame image. The method also includes performing integrations of each readout circuit based on the integration time. Thus, a plurality of subframes are provided. A number of the subframes are averaged to provide the fast frame image.
