Abstract
There is provided in one embodiment an apparatus having an image sensor array. In one embodiment, the image sensor array can include monochrome pixels and color sensitive pixels. The monochrome pixels can be pixels without wavelength selective color filter elements. The color sensitive pixels can include wavelength selective color filter elements.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a first image sensor array, the first image sensor array being a two-dimensional global shutter CMOS image sensor array comprising a plurality of first pixels disposed in a plurality of rows, wherein all or substantially all of the plurality of first pixels are configured to be simultaneously exposed for a duration of an exposure period;
- a first imaging lens associated with the first image sensor array;
- a second image sensor array, the second image sensor array being a two-dimensional rolling shutter CMOS image sensor array comprising a plurality of second pixels disposed in a second plurality of rows;
- a second imaging lens associated with the second image sensor array;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the apparatus to:
- capture one or more frames of image data using at least one of the first image sensor array and the second image sensor array;
- and
- decode one or more decodable indicia in the one or more frames of image data.

- a second imaging lens associated with the second image sensor array;
- a processor that implements a multitasking operation system;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the apparatus to:
- capture one or more frames of image data using at least one of the first image sensor array and the second image sensor array;
- and
- decode one or more decodable indicia in the one or more frames of image data.
