Sensor device and method

Abstract

An Imaging sensor device configured to produce image data comprising a plurality of analog-to-digital-converters, a pixel array comprising a plurality of pixels in a row and column arrangement, the pixels being of at least two different types, at least one type of pixels being a type of IR-pixels and at least one type of pixels being a type of non-IR-pixels, the types of IR-pixels being configured to primarily sense infrared light, the types of non-IR-pixels being configured to primarily sense electromagnetic radiation that is not infrared light, a connection between individual pixels and the individual analog-to-digital-converters being configured to provide a plurality of selectable channels, a first channel causing the plurality of analog-to-digital-converters to access the plurality of pixels as pixels being accessed, a second channel causing the plurality of analog-to-digital-converters to access only pixels of a type of IR-pixels as pixels being accessed.
