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.
