Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented for taking a combination of images taken synchronous in time with one another. According to one example, the present disclosure proposes one or more sensor arrays, each of which comprises multiple pixel sensors arranged to capture image data responsive to light exposure. Light is incident on the respective sensor arrays during substantially synchronous exposures. The one or more sensor arrays are configured such that the image data captured by the respective sensor arrays during the synchronous exposure differ in at least one of a luminance output or a color profile from one another.
