Abstract
An electronic device includes: a color filter array including a plurality of color filters having a first grid pattern; an image sensor including the color filter array; and at least one processor electrically connected to the image sensor. The at least one processor is configured to acquire image data via unit pixels of a pixel array having a second grid pattern forming an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the first grid pattern. At least two of the plurality of color filters have different colors and the at least two of the plurality of color filters correspond to the unit pixels.
Claims14
An electronic device comprising:
- a color filter array comprising a plurality of color filters having a first grid pattern;
- an image sensor comprising the color filter array;
- at least one processor electrically connected to the image sensor;
- and
- memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, which are executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to acquire image data via unit pixels of a pixel array having a second grid pattern forming an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the first grid pattern,
- wherein at least two of the plurality of color filters comprise different color filters and the at least two of the plurality of color filters correspond to the unit pixels, and
- wherein each of the unit pixels of the pixel array has a shape of a quadrangle circumscribing a first color filter of the plurality of color filters of the color filter array.
An electronic device comprising:
- a color filter array comprising a plurality of color filters having a first grid pattern;
- an image sensor comprising the color filter array;
- at least one processor electrically connected to the image sensor;
- and
- memory storing instructions,
- wherein the instructions, which is executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to acquire image data via unit pixels in a pixel array having a second grid pattern forming an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the first grid pattern,
- wherein each of the unit pixels in the pixel array comprises (i) a first area corresponding to a first color filters and (ii) a second area corresponding to areas corresponding to a part of different color filters,
- wherein the image sensor is configured to output, through the first area, a first color value, and is configured to output, through the second area, at least one color value among a second color value and a third color value, and
- wherein a plurality of combinations of the first color, the second color, and the third color represent areas of visible light.
