Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide an image sensor image sensor including an image sensor structure. The image sensor structure includes a multitude of image elements arranged in a grid-shaped manner in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. An image element of the multitude of image elements includes a plurality of filter elements spatially arranged side by side. The plurality of filter elements includes at least one color filter and at least one additional filter from a filter group. The filter group includes a first absorption filter with a first optical bandwidth, a second absorption filter with a second optical bandwidth different from the first optical bandwidth, a first polarization filter with a first polarization characteristic, a second polarization filter with a second polarization characteristic different from the first polarization characteristic, and a filter element without absorption effect or polarization effect.
