    摘要: A color imaging device comprises: one or more arrays (10, RA, GA, BA) of color selective photodetectors (R, G, B) configured to acquire a color image of a subject; a set of avalanche photodiode photodetectors (APD) arranged to acquire a luminance image of the subject; and digital image processing circuitry (30) configured to process the acquired color image and the acquired luminance image to generate an output image of the subject. In some embodiments the avalanche photodiode photodetectors are configured to perform photon counting. In some embodiments, the one or more arrays comprise an imaging array (10) including the color-selective photodetectors (R, G, B) distributed across the imaging array with the set of avalanche photodiode photodetectors (APD) interspersed amongst the color-selective photodetectors.
