Patent Images

1. A method of processing data captured by an image sensor having plural elements defining a first resolution, a first group of said elements positioned at a first set of locations and capturing light of a first color, a second group of said elements positioned at a second set of locations and capturing light of a second color, and a third group of said elements positioned at a third set of locations and capturing light of a third color, the sensor providing image data comprised of samples of single colors at different points in a scene, the method comprising:

  • capturing plural sets of image data using said image sensor;

    determining alignment between captured sets of image data; and

    combining color samples from said captured sets to yield enhanced image data, said enhanced data having the same first resolution, but including samples of plural colors at each of plural different points in the scene, rather than just samples of single colors at different points.
