Patent ID: 7714262

Claim:
A digital camera comprising: a first array of photo detectors configured to sample light of a visible spectrum; a second array of photo detectors configured to sample ultraviolet (UV) radiation; a first channel processor operatively coupled to the first array of photo detectors and configured to generate a first image based on second array data received from the first array of photo detectors; a second channel processor operatively coupled to the second array of photo detectors and configured to generate a second image based on second array data received from the second array of photo detectors; and an image pipeline operatively coupled to the first channel processor and to the second channel processor, wherein the image pipeline includes a color plane integrator configured to receive the first image from the first channel processor and the second image from channel and the second image from the second channel processor, wherein the color plane integrator is further configured to integrate the first image and the second image into a single color image.
