Abstract
A color filter array pattern for use in a solid-state imager comprising red sensitive elements located at every other array position, with alternating blue sensitive and green sensitive elements located at the remaining array positions, is disclosed. Since red color is sampled most frequently, the color filter may be part of an in vivo camera system for imaging internal human body organs and tissues.

52. A method of obtaining an image from a tissue of a body organ, said method comprising the steps of:
-
positioning an in vivo detecting system in the proximity of said tissue of said body organ;
sampling the red color of said tissue of said body organ at a first frequency; and
sampling the green color of said tissue of said body organ at a second frequency, wherein said first frequency is twice said second frequency. - View Dependent Claims (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)

59. A method of outputting an image of at least a portion of the human gastrointestinal tract, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an imaging system in the proximity of said at least a portion of the human gastrointestinal tract;
detecting the red color of said at least a portion of the human gastrointestinal tract at a first frequency to obtain a first measured data;
detecting the green color of said at least a portion of the human gastrointestinal tract at a second frequency to obtain a second measured data, wherein said first frequency is twice said second frequency; and
transmitting said first and second measured data to a receiver system. - View Dependent Claims (60, 61, 62, 63, 64)
