1. A method of improving an image of an object for machine control, comprising:

  • illuminating the object with electromagnetic radiation having a first optical characteristic;

    selectively sensitizing a first subset of optically sensitive picture elements of a sensor to the first optical characteristic and selectively sensitizing a second subset of optically sensitive picture elements of the sensor to a second optical characteristic;

    capturing an image of the object, the image including a first image information subset derived from the first subset of optically sensitive picture elements and a second image information subset derived from the second subset of optically sensitive picture elements; and

    removing noise from the image to form an improved image by determining a difference between the first image information subset and the second image information subset.
