Patent ID: 7483065

Claim:
An imaging system comprising: a first luminance sensor array operative to produce first pixelated luminance information from a full spectrum of visible light; a first chrominance sensor array operative to produce first pixelated chrominance information from a first set of colors of visible light; a second chrominance sensor array operative to produce second pixelated chrominance information from a second set of colors of visible light; a first filter optically coupled to the first chrominance sensor array having a first mosaic pattern using the first set of colors; and a second filter optically coupled to the second chrominance sensor array having a second mosaic pattern using the second set of colors, at least one of the colors in one of the first set or the second set being different from the colors in the other one of the first set or the second set, wherein the first pixelated luminance information and the first and second pixelated chrominance information are combined to generate an image of an object.
