Abstract

A new type of digital image memory and digital video processor is described. This unit, working at standard video rates and with a full frame storage capacity, allows low light level imaging thresholds to be reduced one to two orders of magnitude. With 12 bits per picture elements of memory plus non-linear output processing contrast, levels below 1% can be displayed. Applications of this equipment are also discussed.
