Abstract From the Canadian patent

An electronic imaging system includes an optical system for imaging radiation from a scene onto the image sensing surface of an imaging device for a selected sample period. The imaging device may take the form of a two dimensional array of photoresponsive areas having a device specific upper spatial frequency limit. In order to eliminate alias signal components in the output video signal caused by spatial frequency components in the scene radiation greater than the Nyquist spatial frequency of the device the optical, system is designed to have a spatial frequency limit no higher than the Nyquist frequency of the imaging device and thus functions as a low pass optical filter. The spatial …
