BEAM GUIDANCE-AWARE PIXEL CLUSTERS OF A SEGMENTED SENSOR AREA AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AVERAGE ALGORITHMS FOR PIXEL PROCESSING

摘要

A scanning system includes a first scanning structure configured to rotate about at least a first scanning axis; a driver configured to drive the scanning structure about the at least one scanning axis and to sense a position of the first scanning structure with respect to the at least one first scanning axis during movement of the first scanning structure; a segmented pixel sensor comprising a plurality of sub-pixel elements arranged in a pixel area; and a controller configured to selectively activate and deactivate the plurality of sub-pixel elements into at least one active cluster and at least one deactivated cluster to form at least one active pixel from the at least one active cluster, receives first position information from the driver that indicate the detected position of the first sample structure, and dynamically changes a clustering of activated sub-pixel elements and a clustering of deactivated sub-pixel elements based on the first position information.
