    摘要: A multi-mode sensor assembly is described. The sensor assembly includes a first die and a second die. The first die includes a pixel array composed of color pixels that detect light in one or more color channels and sparse pixels. The color pixels and the sparse pixels are arranged to form macro pixels, and each macro pixel includes a respective subset of the color pixels and a respective subset of the sparse pixels. The second die is positioned below and coupled to the first die. The second die includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) array that is communicatively coupled to the sparse pixels such that each subset of the sparse pixels has a single corresponding ADC in the ADC array.

    摘要: Provided is an imaging system capable of stereo-photographing with both of visible and infrared images, and improving color reproducibility in visible-light-photographing. The imaging system includes two imaging sensors, and two DBPFs that have transmittance characteristics in a visible light band and a second wavelength band, are respectively provided correspondingly to the two imaging sensors, and serve as optical filters. The imaging system has: at least four kinds of filters, which have mutual different spectral transmission characteristics corresponding to wavelengths in the visible light band and whose transmissions in a second wavelength band approximate each other; and two color filters provided so as respectively correspond to the two imaging sensors. The imaging system measures a distance to a target based on two visible or infrared image signals.

    摘要: An imaging device includes a first optical sensor, and a second optical sensor disposed on the side opposite to the light incidence side with respect to the first optical sensor and bonded to the first optical sensor. The first optical sensor includes a plurality of first pixels disposed two-dimensionally. The second optical sensor includes a plurality of second pixels disposed two-dimensionally. Each of the plurality of first pixels includes an embedded photodiode that generates charge in response to incidence of light in a first wavelength band. Each of the plurality of second pixels includes a charge generation region that generates charge in response to incidence of the light in a second wavelength band, a charge collection region to which the charge is transferred, a photogate electrode that attracts the charge, and a transfer gate electrode that transfers the charge to the charge collection region.
