1. A method of manufacturing an image sensor from two defective image sensor arrays having identical structural design, each having substantially the same field of view (FOV) and aligned to view substantially the same scene, the method comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a first defective image sensor array, having known defective pixels;

    b) providing a second defective image sensor array, having known defective pixels; and

    c) fusing said first image sensor array and said second image sensor array into a single output image array,wherein for each of said defective pixels of said first image sensor array the respective pixel from said second image sensor array is selected to be an output pixel of said output image array;

    wherein for each of said defective pixels of said second image sensor array the respective pixel from said first image sensor array is selected to be an output pixel of said output image array; and

    wherein for each valid pixel in said first image sensor array having a respective valid pixel in said second image sensor array, either of said respective valid pixels is selected to be an output pixel of said output image array.
