Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for capturing stereoscopic images using one or more high color density or “full color” image sensors and one or more low color density or “sparse color” image sensors. Low color density image sensors, may include substantially fewer color pixels than the sensor's total number of pixels, as well as fewer color pixels than the total number of color pixels on the full color image sensor. More particularly, the mostly-monochrome image captured by the low color density image sensor may be used to reduce noise and increase the spatial resolution of an imaging system's output image. In addition, the color pixels present in the low color density image sensor may be used to identify and fill in color pixel values, e.g., for regions occluded in the image captured using the full color image sensor. Optical Image Stabilization and/or split photodiodes may be employed on one or more sensors.

Claim (Index 18):
An imaging system, comprising:\n a first image sensor, comprising:\n a first plurality of luminance pixel elements; and \n a second plurality of color pixel elements, \n wherein a number of the second plurality of color pixel elements comprises less than 50% of a sum of a number of the first plurality of luminance pixel elements and the number of the second plurality of color pixel elements, and \n wherein the second plurality of color pixel elements are arranged in a predetermined pattern on the image sensor; and \n a second image sensor, comprising:\n a third plurality of color pixel elements, \n wherein a number of the third plurality of color pixel elements is greater than the number of the second plurality of color pixel elements, and wherein the imaging system is configured to combine image information captured concomitantly by the first image sensor and the second image sensor to generate an output image.
