Summary:Some system embodiments comprise a plurality of: pixels; data lines coupled to the pixels; switches coupling the pixels to the data lines; readout circuits coupled to the data lines. The system also comprises control logic coupled to the readout circuits, the control logic configured to, for one of the pixels: acquire a first value for the pixel while the corresponding switch is in an off state; reset the corresponding readout circuit corresponding for the pixel; acquire a second value for the pixel after resetting the readout circuit; turn on the corresponding switch; acquire a third value for the pixel after turning on the corresponding switch; and combine the values into a combined pixel value. Some system embodiments comprise: a housing; an imaging array in the housing; an imaging strip in the housing; a first readout circuit coupled to the imaging array; a second readout circuit coupled to the imaging strip; and common electronics coupled to the first and second readout circuits and configured to generate image data in response to at least one of the first and second readout circuits.
