Patent US 5,877,807

An optoelectronic colored image converter having an imaging system, which images an object onto a two-dimensional CCD-array, the matrix of which, comprising light-sensitive sensor elements, has a color filter mask for picking up images with at least three color takes. The image is shifted relative to the CCD-array between taking consecutive frames in such a manner that the sensor elements of the CCD-array sensitive for the various colors come consecutively to rest on the same point of the image. A memory and control unit congruently composes the color takes of the frames picked up with the shifted CCD-array.
