10.5.5 Double Shutter
This feature offers the possibility of capturing two images in a very short interval. Depend-
ing on the application, this is performed in conjunction with a flash unit. Thereby the first
exposure time (t
exposure
) is arbitrary and accompanied by the first flash. The second expo-
sure time must be equal to, or longer than the readout time (t
readout
) of the sensor. Thus the
pixels of the sensor are recepitve again shortly after the first exposure. In order to realize
the second short exposure time without an overrun of the sensor, a second short flash
must be employed, and any subsequent extraneous light prevented.
