    摘要: A pixel array includes octagon-shaped pixel sensors and square-shaped pixel sensors. The octagon-shaped pixel sensors may be interspersed in the pixel array with square-shaped pixel sensors to increase the utilization of space in the pixel array, and to allow for pixel sensors in the pixel array to be sized differently. Moreover, the pixel array may include a combination of red, green, and blue pixel sensors to obtain color information from incident light; yellow pixel sensors for blue and green color enhancement and correction for the pixel array; near infrared (NIR) pixel sensors to increase contour sharpness and low light performance for the pixel array; and/or white pixel sensors to increase light sensitivity and brightness for the pixel array. The capability to configure different sizes and types of pixel sensors permits the pixel array to be formed and/or configured to satisfy various performance parameters.
