Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a single RGBIR camera module that is capable of imaging at both the visible and IR wavelengths. In some embodiments, a camera module comprises: an image sensor comprising: a microlens array; a color filter array (CFA) comprising a red filter, a blue filter, a green filter and at least one infrared (IR) filter; and a pixel array comprising pixels to convert light received through the color filter array into electrical signals; and an image signal processor (ISP) configured to: initiate capture of a first frame by reading signal pixels from the pixel array; initiate capture of a second frame by reading IR pixels from the pixel array; align the first and second frames; and extract the second frame from the first frame to generate a third enhanced frame.
