Abstract:
An image sensor for acquiring an image of an object comprises: an array of photo-sensitive areas ( 112 ); and a mosaic filter ( 114 ) associated with the array dividing the array into sub-groups ( 118 ) of photo-sensitive areas ( 112 ) extending across at least two rows and two columns, wherein the mosaic filter ( 114 ) transmits unique light properties to the photo-sensitive areas ( 112 ) within the sub-group ( 118 ); wherein the mosaic filter ( 114 ) comprises a sequence of unique filter portions associated with a set of photo-sensitive areas ( 112 ) along a row, wherein the set extends through more than one sub-group ( 118 ); wherein sequences comprising the unique filter portions are associated with each row and wherein the sequences associated with adjacent rows comprise different orders of the unique filter portions, such that different light properties are transmitted to photo-sensitive areas ( 112 ) in the same column of adjacent rows.

Claim (Index 9):
An image sensor for acquiring an image of an object, said image sensor comprising:\n an array of photo-sensitive areas arranged in columns and rows, wherein the photo-sensitive areas are configured to detect incident light; and a mosaic filter associated with the array of photo-sensitive areas such that the array is divided into sub-groups of photo-sensitive areas extending across at least two rows and two columns of the array, wherein the mosaic filter is configured to transmit a plurality of unique light properties to the photo-sensitive areas within the sub-group; wherein the mosaic filter comprises a sequence of unique filter portions associated with a set of photo-sensitive areas along a row of the array such that the filter portions are configured to transmit unique light properties to photo-sensitive areas in the set, wherein the set of photo-sensitive areas extend through more than one sub-group of photo-sensitive areas in the array; wherein sequences comprising the unique filter portions are associated with each row of the array and wherein the sequences associated with adjacent rows comprise different orders of the unique filter portions, such that different light properties are transmitted to photo-sensitive areas in the same column of adjacent rows.
