Abstract:
The description relates to capturing or sensing color images of scenes and information about the type of light (e.g., light source) that illuminated the scene. One example can include an image sensor manifest as an array of pixels. This example can also include a lens configured to focus an image from a scene on the array of pixels. The array of pixels can entail first pixels that are configured to sense the image and second pixels that are configured to capture information about lighting of the scene.
