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 1):
A stereoscopic imaging system, comprising:\n a first image sensor configured to capture a first color image of a scene, wherein the first color image sensor includes color pixels having color values; a second image sensor configured in a predetermined spatial relationship to the first image sensor, so as to form a stereoscopic imaging system, wherein the second image sensor is configured to capture, concomitantly with the first color image, a second image of the scene, wherein the second image sensor includes luminance pixels having luminance values and color pixels having color values, and wherein the first image sensor has a greater number of color pixels than the second image sensor; a color reconstruction circuit configured to generate, using information from the second image, a second color image; and an output circuit configured to generate, using information from the first and second color images, an output image.
