Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011076976A1] 36 Abstract The invention relates to forming an image using binary pixels. Binary pixels are pixels that have only two states, a white state when the pixel is exposed and a black state when the pixel is not exposed. The binary pixels have color filters on top of them, and the setup of color filters may be known to some degree. A setup making use of a statistical approach may be used to determine the color of incoming light to produce output images. Consequently, the approach may be used with the binary pixel array to produce images from the input images that the binary pixel array records.
