A monitoring unit for monitoring an environment outside of a motor vehicle includes a camera with an imaging sensor that has both color pixels and monochrome pixels. Pixel groups each include one or two color pixels and respectively three or two monochrome pixels. The pixel groups are arranged in a repeating pattern of partial color encoding.

Monitoring unit for a motor vehicle, having partial color encoding

An imaging system for imaging an environment outside of a motor vehicle combines color-coded pixels and non-color-coded pixels in a single imaging sensor of a camera. Pixel groups each include at least one color-coded pixel and at least two non-color-coded pixels. The pixel groups are arranged in a repeating pattern of partial color encoding.

An image capturing system includes an optical component, a sensor below and connected to the optical component for capturing radiation, and a chip below the sensor for processing and/or storing and/or transmitting information captured by the sensor. The sensor and the Chip are directly connected to each other. The disclosure further relates to a production method for an image capturing system.
