Color imaging device

Abstract

A color imaging apparatus includes a filter having a meta surface, and configured to transmit only light in a first spectral region, a second spectral region and a third spectral region in a time sequence, a monochrome sensor on which the filter is disposed, and configured to acquire three different monochrome images in the time sequence by being consecutively exposed three times in synchronization with the filter, and a processor configured to acquire one color image by merging the three different monochrome images.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
