Abstract
A sensor includes a first image pixel array including first image pixels and a second image pixel array including second image pixels. A polarization layer is disposed between the first image pixels and the second image pixels. Scene light incident upon the second image pixels propagates through the first image pixels and the polarization layer to reach the second image pixels.
