CAMERAS HAVING AN OPTICAL CHANNEL THAT INCLUDES SPATIALLY SEPARATED SENSORS FOR SENSING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE OPTICAL SPECTRUM

摘要

The present disclosure describes cameras having an optical channel that includes spatially separated sensors for sensing different parts of the optical spectrum. For example, in one aspect, an apparatus includes an image sensor module having an optical channel and including a multitude of spatially separated sensors to receive optical signals in the optical channel. The multitude of spatially separated sensors includes a first sensor operable to sense optical signals in a first spectral range, and a second sensor spatially separated from the first sensor and operable to sense optical signals in a second spectral range different from the first spectral range.
