Abstract
A sensor is provided for detecting light, including an imager which includes a first imaging element and a second imaging element situated adjacent to the first imaging element, and including an optical element which is designed for directing a first component of light incident in the direction of the first imaging element onto the second imaging element, and for allowing a second component of the light incident in the direction of the first imaging element to strike the first imaging element.

23. A method for ascertaining a color information of light detected by a sensor by directing a first component of light incident in a direction of a first imaging element onto a second imaging element, the first imaging element being situated adjacent to the second imaging element on an imager;
- allowing a second component of the light incident in the direction of the first imaging element to strike the first imaging element;
detecting the first component via the second imaging element; and
detecting the second component via the first imaging element, the method for ascertaining the color information comprising;comparing an intensity value of a first image signal of the first imaging element to an intensity value of a second image signal of the second imaging element in order to ascertain the color information.
- allowing a second component of the light incident in the direction of the first imaging element to strike the first imaging element;
-
24. A device for ascertaining a color information of light detected by a sensor by directing a first component of light incident in a direction of a first imaging element onto a second imaging element, the first imaging element being situated adjacent to the second imaging element on an imager;
- allowing a second component of the light incident in the direction of the first imaging element to strike the first imaging element;
detecting the first component via the second imaging element; and
detecting the second component via the first imaging element, the device comprising;an arrangement for comparing an intensity value of a first image signal of the first imaging element to an intensity value of a second image signal of the second imaging element in order to ascertain the color information.
- allowing a second component of the light incident in the direction of the first imaging element to strike the first imaging element;
