Abstract:

Both film and electronic image sensors have followed a similar path to capturing color information. As we progress towards high-resolution photography, it is essential to sample true color at every point in the image. The various approaches people have taken to achieve this goal are presented first.  Finally, the unique system of the Foveon X3 technology is described. The advantages and disadvantages of this scheme are discussed.
