Abstract

See full text

A hybrid sensor is described herein that includes a plurality of photoreceptive element domains. Each domain includes: a first subset of infrared (IR) photoreceptive elements that are selectively receptive to infrared radiation; and a second subset of visible-spectrum photoreceptive elements that are selectively receptive to visible spectrum light. The number of IR photoreceptive elements in the first subset is equal to or greater than a number of visible-spectrum photoreceptive elements in the second subset. In one case, each domain includes a mix of visible-spectrum photoreceptive elements that conforms to a Bayer pattern, or to some other color filer array pattern. Different applications can incorporate the hybrid sensor, including, but not limited to, scene reconstruction applications, object recognition applications, biometric authentication applications, night vision applications, etc.
