1. An imaging device comprising: a two dimensional array of pixels configured to independently select one of a plurality of available integration periods; wherein each pixel of said two dimensional array of pixels is sampled to select one of said plurality of available integration periods; wherein a first sample of said each pixel sampling is for a longest of said plurality of available integration periods; circuitry for conversion of a first value corresponding to a charge level on any given pixel directly to a floating point numerical format; and circuitry for detecting and flagging readings which are abnormally low or abnormally high for an integration range selected and used to acquire said reading of a light induced charge for said pixel.
