Rotating line camera

Line-scan technology is capable of capturing data extremely fast, and at very high image resolutions.

Usually under these conditions, resulting collected image data can quickly exceed 100 MB in a fraction of a second.

Advanced integrated systems include video coding, optical character recognition (OCR) and finish-line cameras for high speed sports.

Panoscan uses a tri-linear CCD array and assembles an image by capturing a single line of pixels while rotating through a 400 degree arc.
