IMAGE SENSING METHOD AND IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image sensor, comprising:
- an image sensing unit array, for sensing an object and comprising a plurality of image sensing units arranged in a sensing matrix with M rows and N columns;
an image data reading circuit, for reading and outputting image data caught by at least part of the image sensing units; and
a control unit,for controlling numbers and locations of the image sensing units for each row or each column, from which the image data reading circuit reads the image data;
for computing a read region that is in the image sensing unit array and corresponds to the object; and
for controlling the image data reading circuit to read at least part of the image data of the column or the row;
wherein the part of the column or the row, which is read, comprises the read region.
