Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for color imaging. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining, by an image sensor that includes pixels for detecting a first color and pixels for detecting a second color, a first image of a scene while the image sensor is in a first position, moving the image sensor to a second position, wherein, in the second position, a particular pixel for detecting the first color is located where a particular pixel for detecting the second color was previously located when the image sensor was in the first position, obtaining, by the image sensor, a second image of the scene while the image sensor is in the second position, generating a composite image based on the first image and the second image, and providing the composite image for output.
