An apparatus for forming an image. The apparatus includes an image tile
capture mechanism for capturing image tiles. The apparatus includes a
mechanism for controlling the image tiles the image tile capture mechanism
captures. The controlling mechanism is disposed adjacent the image tile
capture mechanism. The apparatus includes a mechanism for combining the
image tiles into an image. The combining mechanism is connected with the
image tile capture mechanism. An apparatus for forming an image. The
apparatus includes a low resolution high frame rate image tile capture
mechanism which stores P pixels at F frames per second, where P and F are
integers greater than or equal to 2. The apparatus includes a mechanism
for converting the low resolution high frame rate image tiles captured by
the capture mechanism into a high-resolution low frame rate image by
storing kNP pixels at F/N frames per second, where K less than or equal to
1 and N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, captured by the capture
mechanism.
