An image capture device includes a plurality of independently formed camera channels. Each of the plurality of independently formed camera channels includes a respective lens that receives incident light and transmits the incident light to a respective sensor without transmitting the incident light to respective sensor of other camera channels within the plurality of independently formed camera channels. Further, a processor that is communicatively coupled to the respective sensor of each of the plurality of independently formed camera channels. The processor is configured to control an integration time of the respective sensor of each of the plurality of independently formed camera channels individually with the receive respective images from the respective sensor of each of the plurality of independently formed camera channels, and form a combined image by combing each of the respective images.

This application provides a data processing method, system, and apparatus, and relates to the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The data processing method may be performed by a server, or may be performed by a device having a data processing function. During execution, reference data is first obtained. The reference data includes RGB image data and a device parameter of an image device. Then, a plurality of conversion parameters required for converting the RGB image data into RAW data are determined. Finally, the RGB image data is processed into the RAW data based on the plurality of conversion parameters. The RAW data matches the device parameter of the image device. In this application, the RGB image data is converted into the RAW data based on the plurality of conversion parameters rather than manual experience. Therefore, the described data processing method, system, and apparatus improve data processing efficiency.

An image acquisition apparatus includes: a multispectral image sensor configured to acquire images in at least four channels based on a second wavelength band of about 10 nm to about 1,000 nm; and a processor configured to estimate illumination information of the images by inputting the images of at least four channels to a deep learning network trained in advance, and convert colors of the acquired images using the estimated illumination information.

Techniques for using motion data to generate a high resolution output color image from multiple images having sparse color information are disclosed. A camera generates multiple images. The camera's sensor is configured to have a sparse Bayer pattern. While the camera is generating the images, IMU data for each image is acquired. The IMU data indicates a corresponding pose the camera was in while the camera generated each image. The images and the IMU data are fed as input into a motion model. The motion model performs temporal filtering on the images and uses the IMU data to generate a red-only image, a green-only image, and a blue-only image. A high resolution output color image is generated by combining the red-only image, the green-only image, and the blue-only image.

Disclosed is an image sensor including: a center pixel group including 2x2 pixels having different colors in a center area of a 6x6 unit pixel group; and first to fourth color pixel groups having the same color as one pixel of the center pixel group, disposed as units of 2x4 pixels or 4x2 pixels to have a shape surrounding the center pixel group, and having different colors.

An image sensor includes a two-dimensional pixel array and a lens array. The two-dimensional pixel array comprises a plurality of pixels. Some of the pixels includes two sub-pixels. A rectangular coordinate is established by taking the pixel as an origin, a length direction of the two-dimensional pixel array as an x-axis, and a width direction of the two-dimensional pixel array as a y-axis. The two sub-pixels lie in both a positive half axis and a negative half axis of the x-axis and lies in both a positive half axis and a negative half axis of the y-axis. The lens array comprises a plurality of lenses, each covering one of the pixels.
