Invention aspect #1 records one or more multispectral (MS) images using at least one sensor array, each array getting one respective image and simultaneously polarization state at the array points. Aspect #2 gets and displays a MS, multipolarization (MP) movie, at MS/MP frame rates that suit a scene or the acquisition. Aspect #3 gets an MS image, and a polarization-state image, so that the two are inherently in register. Aspect #4 is a digital camera for plural -waveband imaging, including polarization data; a chip has an optically sensitive layer continuously spanning a field of view - for each of at least two substantially distinct bands. Layers are stacked: some radiation penetrates plural layers to a corra- sponding sensitive layer. A polarization mosaic over the stack defines a superpixel array to differentiate polarization state; an electronic shutter actuates the layers. Aspect #5 makes a time sequence of registered MS/MP images. Aspect #6 gets data for one or more MS images, including polarization state at most image points, via a single, common aperture. |
