Abstract
The present disclosure discloses an image sensor, an imaging device, a mobile terminal and an imaging method. The image sensor comprises a photosensitive pixel array and a filer arranged on the photosensitive pixel array. The filter comprises a filer unit array comprised a plurality of filter units, wherein each filter unit covers N photosensitive pixels, and some of the filter units comprise white filter areas. The white filter areas cover at least one of the N photosensitive pixels of the N photosensitive pixels, wherein a merged pixel is formed by the N photosensitive pixels covered by the same filter unit, wherein N is a positive integer.

An image sensor, comprising:
- a photosensitive pixel array;
- and
- a filter arranged on the photosensitive array, wherein the filter comprises a filter unit array comprised a plurality of filter units;
- wherein each filter unit covers N photosensitive pixels, and some of the filter units comprise white filter areas, wherein the white filter areas cover at least one of the N photosensitive pixels, wherein a merged pixel is formed by the N photosensitive pixels covered by the same filter unit, wherein N is a positive integer.
An imaging device, comprising:
- an image sensor, wherein the image sensor comprises a photosensitive pixel array and a filter arranged on the photosensitive array, wherein the filter comprises a filter unit array comprised a plurality of filter units;
- wherein each filter unit covers N photosensitive pixels, and some of the filter units comprise white filter areas, wherein the white filter areas cover at least one of the N photosensitive pixels, wherein a merged pixel is formed by the N photosensitive pixels covered by the same filter unit, wherein N is a positive integer;
- and
- an image signal processor, wherein the image signal processor is configured to read and to process outputs of the photosensitive pixel array of the image sensor to obtain pixel values of merged pixels and further to obtain merged images.
