ON Semi Announces RGB-IR Versions of its 2MP Sensors

BusinessWire: ON Semi announces RGB-IR versions of its 1/2.7-inch 1080p60 AR0237 and AR0238 RGB-IR CMOS sensors for home security and automated monitoring applications. These have the ability to capture daytime color and nighttime NIR image data on the same sensor without the cost and complexities (like refocusing, maintenance etc.) that can result from having a mechanical IR-cut filter mounted onto the imaging assembly. Their RGB-IR CFA arrangement has the 4x4 kernel replacing some R and B pixels with NIR-sensitive pixels and rearranges the spatial density of the remaining pixels.
