    Abstract: An apparatus includes an array of sub-diffraction limit-sized light receptors formed in a substrate having a light receiving surface. Each receptor is configured to output an n-bit element and to change state based on the absorption of at least one photon (n is an integer >0). The apparatus includes an optical filter structure disposed over the light receiving surface, the structure having an array of filter pixels, each having an associated passband spectral characteristic. A data element obtained from the array of receptors is generated from a combination of a plurality of the n-bit elements output from a plurality of light receptors that underlie filter pixels having at least two different passband spectral characteristics. The filter pixels having at least two different passband spectral characteristics form a gradient filter wherein bandpass regions increase when moving from a central region of the gradient filter towards an edge region.

    Abstract: At a digital imaging system, a first set of samples of a scene are digitally captured with a first array of image sensing nodes while simultaneously a second set of samples of the scene are digitally captured with a second array of image sensing nodes. Image sensing nodes of the second array are oriented in a rotated position relative to the image sensing nodes of the first array. The first and second sets of samples are integrated with one another while correcting for the rotated orientation of the image sensing nodes of the second array relative to the image sensing nodes of the first array, and from that integration is output a high resolution image. In specific embodiments, there may be additional arrays of image sensing nodes, different arrays may sample different size portions of the scene, and be also rotated relative to other sensing node arrays.
