An integrated image sensor for acquiring and processing electrical signals
representative of an object comprising a photosite array configured to
convert light into the electrical signals, an A/D converter configured to
convert the electrical signals into digital data, and logic integral with
the image sensor configured to scale the digital data by a
non-integer-scaling factor. A method for acquiring and processing image
data with an integrated image sensor comprising the steps of capturing,
via the image sensor, the image data representative of an image, scaling,
via the image sensor, the image data by a non-integer value, and
outputting from the integrated image sensor scaled image data.
