In the known time delay and integration (TDI) color scanner, a different color filter covers each group m of N rows. The spectral sensitivity of each group m of N rows can be improved if some of the photosites in one group are covered by filters from other groups. The TDI color scanner produces a first set of device dependent color signals which may be transformed into a corresponding set of color signals, which may approximate device independent color signals, using a transformation matrix. Typical TDI scanners include photosites arranged in rows divided into groups of rows, and a color filter is associated with each group. However, in the inventive TDI color scanner, each color filter covers more or less than the rows in its corresponding group and some or none of the rows in other groups. The color filters therefore produce a second set of color signals that are linear combinations of the first set of device dependent color signals and are based on a number of rows of each group covered by each filter. The second set of color signals may be an approximation of the device independent color signals. Using combinations of different filter materials in different groups provides improvement in color quality over other methods of color scanning.
