Patent attributes
A camera system includes two or more sensor arrays and an optical path. The sensor arrays are on the same sensor chip. Each sensor array includes the same field of view (FOV) as each other sensor array. The optical path includes a main lens and a metalens that are shared by each sensor array, and a microlens associated with each sensor array. The metalens splits incident light into different spectrums of light and directs each respective spectrum to a corresponding sensor array. The different spectrums of light include at least two of visible light, near infrared light, shortwave infrared and longwave infrared, and at least one sensor array includes single-photon avalanche diodes. The image processor that provides image processing, object recognition and object tracking and/or image fusion functionality may be on the same sensor chip as the sensor arrays.
