II. ANALOG IMAGE PROCESSING
A. Outline
The CCD PCB has the following functions:
• Driving the CCD.
• Performs A/D conversion of CCD output signals (analog)
• Performs AE processing (ABC processing)
B. CCD
The machine's CCD line sensor is a single-line linear image sensor consisting of 75000-pixel
photocells. The signals photo-converted by the light-receiving unit are transferred to the analog
signal processing block (odd- and even-numbered pixels are communicated separately). The
analog signal processing block combines the signals representing odd- and even-numbered pixels,
and sends the result to the A/D conversion block.
