Abstract:
A sensor device is provided that includes an array of light sensitive pixels configured in a predetermined pattern of light sensitive pixels that alternates between broadband visible light sensitive pixels and infrared light sensitive pixels, each broadband visible light sensitive pixel being configured to have increased sensitivity to light of the visible light spectrum and to have reduced sensitivity to light of the infrared light spectrum compared to each infrared light sensitive pixel, and each infrared light sensitive pixel being configured to have increased sensitivity to light of the infrared light spectrum and to have reduced sensitivity to light of the visible light spectrum compared to each broadband visible light sensitive pixel.
