Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of obtaining both high-resolution red-green-blue (RGB) data and other data of an image-bearing surface using a single sensor array, the method comprising: obtaining, using a single sensor array configured to obtain measurements M, where M is a measurement of different spectral sensitivity responses per output pixel at low resolution, spectrophotometric data representing a plurality of output pixels representing the image-bearing surface, and wherein M≧4; determining, using at least one electronic processor and based on the spectrophotometric data, high-resolution RGB data representing the image-bearing surface; determining, using at least one electronic processor and based on the spectrophotometric data, additional data representing a plurality of output pixels representing the image-bearing surface; and outputting the high-resolution RGB data and the additional data.
