FRAMELESS RANDOM-ACCESS IMAGE SENSING A method and apparatus for frameless random-access image sensing. Instructions identifying a pixel detector (116) in an array of pixel detectors (110) and integration instructions for the pixel detector (116) maybe received by an image detector (104) controller. Integration by the pixel detector (116) may be controlled as defined by the integration instructions to generate pixel data (124) by the pixel detector (116). The pixel data may be read from the pixel detector (116).
