Abstract
An imaging system includes a plurality of optical sensors arranged on an integrated circuit in an array with a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, with a plurality of sets of filters configured over the plurality of sensors, with each filter of a set of filters being associated with a corresponding optical sensor of the array of optical sensors to provide a filter/sensor pair and each filter of a set of filters also configured to pass a target wavelength range of light. The system includes an interface communicating with the plurality of optical sensors, memory storing operational instructions and processing circuitry configured to sample an image using the plurality of optical sensors for each filter/sensor pair associated with a same target wavelength of light on a row-by-row basis at a predetermined sampling rate to produce row-by-row sample outputs, where the processing circuitry is further configured to initiate sampling at least some rows of the plurality of rows of optical sensors using different time stamps.
