Abstract
An image processing system has a sensor array with a plurality of pixels. A distinct circuit is associated with each pixel in the sensor array. The circuits are designed such that across the plurality of circuits, there are a plurality of distinct sensitivities to irradiance from a scene to be captured which are spatially pseudo-randomly ordered relative to each other. The image processing system also comprises an image reconstruction algorithm. A method is also disclosed.
