High sensitivity color image generation using hybrid sensor

An apparatus, comprising:

• an input module configured to receive sensor data from a hybrid sensor, the sensor data comprising partial-frame chromatic data of a plurality of chromatic channels and partial-frame color-insensitive data;
• a spatial filtering module configured to generate full-frame color-insensitive data based on the partial-frame color-insensitive data;
• and
• a colorization module configured to generate a plurality of full-frame chromatic images based on the full-frame color-insensitive data and the partial-frame chromatic data, each of the plurality of full-frame chromatic images corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of chromatic channels,
• wherein the colorization module is, in generating the plurality of full-frame chromatic images, further configured to apply the partial-frame chromatic data of the each of the plurality of chromatic channels to the full-frame color-insensitive data through a respective linear function.
