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 1):
A method of acquiring an image of an object, said method comprising:\n acquiring a plurality of frames in a time sequence, each frame being acquired using at least a portion of an array of photo-sensitive areas on at least one sensor surface, which at least one sensor surface is arranged in relation to at least one optical system in an image plane defined by the at least one optical system, wherein the photo-sensitive areas are configured to detect incident light from an object imaged by the at least one optical system onto the image plane, wherein the photo-sensitive areas are arranged in columns and rows of the array and wherein a mosaic filter is associated with the array 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; during said time sequence, moving the at least one sensor surface in the image plane in relation to the at least one optical system in a direction extending along rows or columns of the array, wherein the plurality of frames, by said moving, are acquired using different positions of the at least one sensor surface in relation to the at least one optical system for imaging same portions of the object onto different photo-sensitive areas, whereby the plurality of frames acquires different light property information for the same portion of the object and a number of different light properties acquired for the same portion of the object is larger than the number of different light properties transmitted to photo-sensitive areas along a row or column within a sub-group.
