Processing of sensor data during readout vs post image processing. For our sensor, the maximum exposure time (≈10 ms) is equal to the readout time (2) if the maximum sampling rate is used. The utilized sensor was ’integrate-while-read’ capable i. e. during the readout (2) of the SWIRD sensor of the exposure (1) event N, exposure event N+1 takes place. Parallel processing (3) means that the processing starts during the readout process (2), the earliest end is the moment when readout is finished. If the latency is larger than the read out time, the end is shifted which is indicated by the blue arrow. Contrarily, post image processing (4) takes place at the earliest directly after a digital picture has been created, it can be slower or faster (indicated by the red arrow) than the readout process (2)
