Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014096433A1] The invention concerns a method for reading an imaging device intended for capturing images in a detector comprising a high number of photosensitive points called pixels organised into a matrix. The pixels of a given column are linked to a column conductor (Col(j)) that makes it possible to consecutively read photosignals acquired by the pixels of the column, the method consisting, for each of the pixels, of carrying out a correlated double sampling read phase, the read phase comprising an operation of resetting the pixel (11, 15) followed by two reading operations (12, 14, 16, 18), the first without a photosignal, and the second with the photosignal. According to the invention, for the pixels of a given column, three steps are carried out in succession: 1 a first of the operations of reading (14; 72) the pixel of a first row (I), 2 one of the operations of reading (18; 76) a second row (1+1), 3 a second of the operations of reading (12; 74) the pixel of the first row (I).
