Abstract: The color filter array 21a comprises seven or more types of color filters including a first color filter. The seven or more types color filters have different spectral sensitivity characteristics. The seven or more types of color filters are arranged in a two-dimensional form. Among the seven or more types of color filters, at least two types of color filters are designated as a color filter of interest. Two color filters arranged at a first interval on both sides of the color filter of interest along a first direction are of the same type. Two color filters arranged at a second interval on both sides of the color filter of interest along a second direction that is different from the first direction are of the same type. Among the color filters, at least one type of color filter have a density higher than that of the other types of color filters, thereby realizing acquisition of highly accurate gradient information from a multiband color filter array.

Abstract: An imaging system for use in a vehicle headlamp control system includes an opening, an image sensor, a red lens blocking red complement light between the opening and the image sensor, and a red complement lens blocking red light between the opening and the image sensor. Each lens focuses light onto a different subwindow of the image sensor. The imaging system allows processing and control logic to detect the presence of headlamps on oncoming vehicles and tail lights on vehicles approached from the rear for the purpose of controlling headlamps. A light sampling lens may be used to redirect light rays from an arc spanning above the vehicle to in front of the vehicle into substantially horizontal rays. The light sampling lens is imaged by the image sensor to produce an indication of light intensity at various elevations. The processing and control logic uses the light intensity to determine whether headlamps should be turned on or off. A shutter may be used to protect elements of the imaging system from excessive light exposure.
