Abstract
A method for optimization of alignment of pixels of X different types on a sensor array for the performance of N different camera tasks, where X and N are integers greater than 1, includes obtaining an output of each of the X types of pixel on the sensor array for an input image; evaluating the quality of the output for each of the N different camera tasks; and obtaining an optimal pixel alignment pattern by adjustment of a potential pixel alignment pattern with respect to performance of the N different camera tasks subject to a user-determined balance of priorities among the N different camera tasks.
