An HDTV still-picture camera that uses four PAL CCD sensors has been developed for use as a high-speed, high-resolution image reader. The CCD sensors are optically coupled to a single lens by a pyramidal mirror. Each CCD sensor reads a quarter of the image and the four quarter-images are combined into one HDTV picture. Discontinuities at the lines where the four images join can be eliminated by white- and dark-level correction and gamma correction. Moreover, smoothing processing using a weighted-mean method is performed to produce a seamless picture. With this processing the camera can consistently produce seamless pictures.
