Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021138869A1] An image sensor comprises a plurality of pixels arranged in a two dimensional (2D) array, and a plurality of optical filters. A first set of pixels is associated with a first channel and a second set of pixels is associated with a second channel. Each optical filter is associated with one of the plurality of pixels. A first set of optical filters is associated with the pixels of the first channel, each optical filter of the first set passing light in a first wavelength range. A second set of optical filters is associated with the pixels of the second channel, each optical filter of the second set passing light in a second wavelength range. The image sensor controls an exposure time period and/or an analog gain of the pixels of the first channel independently from the pixels of the second channel.
