Single-chip sensor multi-function imaging

A system comprising:

• a scene processing module configured to:
• receive a single frame captured by a single-chip image capture sensor having a color filter array,
• wherein the single frame comprises
• a first set of pixel data captured by a first set of pixels of the single-chip image capture sensor that are associated with a first color filter included in the color filter array, the first color filter configured to allow light having a first color and fluorescence excitation illumination to pass through the first color filter to the first set of pixels, and
• a second set of pixel data captured by a second set of pixels of the single-chip image capture sensor that are associated with a second color filter included in the color filter array, the second color filter configured to allow light having a second color and the fluorescence excitation illumination to pass through the second color filter to the second set of pixels,
• wherein the first set of pixel data comprises a first combined scene including a fluorescence scene component, and
• wherein the second set of pixel data comprises a second combined scene including a combination of a visible color component scene and the fluorescence scene component,
• extract a display fluorescence scene component from the first combined scene, and
• extract a display visible scene component from the second combined scene;
• and
• a display unit connected to the scene processing module and configured to generate, based on the display fluorescence scene component and the display visible scene component, a displayed scene.
