Abstract

A sensor array () for recording a color image in the visible spectrum () and hyperspectral information that is spatially linked with the color image, wherein the sensor array () includes an image sensor () composed of a plurality of photocells (), wherein respectively a color filter () is fixedly assigned to at least one portion of the photocells (), wherein each photocell () is assigned to a subcell () and each subcell () is assigned to a supercell (). Each subcell () has at least one additional filter of a channel, and all the channels together cover at least the entire visible spectrum (), and the characteristic wavelengths () of the individual filters belonging to a channel in each case differ from one another between the subcells () of a supercell ().
