Abstract
The present disclosure includes an imaging sensor, an imaging method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The imaging sensor includes a plurality of wavelength detection regions. The plurality of wavelength detection regions including at least a first wavelength detection region. The first wavelength detection region comprises a plurality of pixels configured to detect light within a first pre-determined wavelength range, and detect the light at different pre-determined polarization directions.
Claims20
An imaging sensor comprising:
- a plurality of wavelength detection regions, the plurality of wavelength detection regions including at least a first wavelength detection region,
- wherein the first wavelength detection region comprises a plurality of pixels configured to
- detect light within a first pre-determined wavelength range, and
- detect the light at different pre-determined polarization directions.
An imaging method, the method comprising:
- detecting, with an imaging sensor, incident light;
- and
- outputting, with the imaging sensor, a plurality of image signals based on different polarizations of the incident light,
- wherein a first one or more image signals of the plurality of image signals are indicative of the different polarizations of the incident light in a first pre-determined wavelength range,
- wherein a second one or more image signals of the plurality of image signals are indicative of the different polarizations of the incident light in a second pre-determined wavelength range,
- wherein the first pre-determined wavelength range and the second pre-determined wavelength range are different from each other.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that, when executed by electronic processor, causes the electronic processor to perform a set of operations comprising:
- receiving a plurality of image signals from an image sensor,
- wherein a first one or more image signals of the plurality of image signals are indicative of different polarizations of incident light in a first pre-determined wavelength range,
- wherein a second one or more image signals of the plurality of image signals are indicative of the different polarizations of the incident light in a second pre-determined wavelength range,
- wherein the first pre-determined wavelength range and the second pre-determined wavelength range are different from each other;
- and
- processing the plurality of image signals to generate an image that is based on a combination of the plurality of image signals.
