Abstract

A system for capturing an image includes a CMOS imaging system, an image focusing device, and an image control processing system coupled to the CMOS imaging system. The CMOS imaging system has at least one CMOS imager with at least one series of pixels. The image focusing device directs the image on to at least a portion of the at least one series of pixels. The CMOS imager may have two or more series of pixels at least adjacent each other where each of the series of pixels is offset from another one of the series of the pixels by a reciprocal of the total number of series of pixels in the CMOS imager.
