    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical biometric sensor (100) comprising: an image sensor (302) comprising an array (301) of photodetectors (304), wherein for acquiring sensing signals, the image sensor is controllable to sequentially start exposure of subsets (306, 308, 309) of photodetectors; and a timing circuitry (310) configured to control the start of exposure of a subset of photodetectors based on a present data transfer capacity on a data transfer bus (312) configured to transfer data indicative of the acquired sensing signals from the optical biometric sensor to a host device (314).

    Abstract: A biometric imaging arrangement configured to acquire an image of an object comprising: an image sensor comprising a photodetector pixel array configured to detect light transmitted from the object for capturing an image, an optical filter assembly comprising at least an optical interference filter, the optical filter assembly being arranged to cover the photodetector pixel array, and the optical filter assembly having an infrared cut-off wavelength to at least partly block infrared light from reaching the photodetector pixel array, the optical filter assembly further having at least a first cut-off wavelength in the visible range of wavelengths, wherein the first cut-off wavelength depends on the angle of incidence of the received light on the optical filter assembly.
