SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN IMAGING SYSTEM USING MULTIPLE IMAGE SENSORS
First Claim
1. An imaging system, comprising:
- a first image sensor configured to obtain first data of a first data type of a scene;
a second image sensor configured to obtain second data of a second data type of the scene;
a third image sensor configured to obtain three-dimensional data of the scene; and
an image processor configured to receive the first data, the second data and the three-dimensional data and to generate a composite image corresponding to the scene from the first data, the second data and the three-dimensional data.

Abstract
Systems and methods may employ separate image sensors for collecting different types of data. In one embodiment, separate luma, chroma and 3-D image sensors may be used. The systems and methods may involve generating an alignment transform for the image sensors, and using the 3-D data from the 3-D image sensor to process disparity compensation. The systems and methods may involve image sensing, capture, processing, rendering and/or generating images. For example, one embodiment may provide an imaging system, including: a first image sensor configured to obtain luminance data of a scene; a second image sensor configured to obtain chrominance data of the scene; a third image sensor configured to obtain three-dimensional data of the scene; and an image processor configured to receive the luminance, chrominance and three-dimensional data and to generate a composite image corresponding to the scene from that data.

12. An imaging method, comprising:
-
obtaining first data of a first data type of a scene using a first image sensor; obtaining second data of a second data type of the scene using a second image sensor, the second data type being different from the first data type; obtaining three-dimensional data of the scene using a third image sensor; and processing the first data, the second data and the three-dimensional data to generate a composite image corresponding to the scene. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
