ABSTRACT:
An optical spatial frequency filter of the type having a pair of birefringent elements with means for changing the polarization state of light between them is given a substantially color dependent spatial frequency response. The filter comprises a wavelength dependent means for changing the polarization state of light between the birefringent elements such that the polarization state of light of a first color is changed by a first amount and the polarization state of light of a second color is changed by a second amount sufficiently different from the first amount such that the spatial frequency response of the spatial frequency filter is substantially color dependent. The filter is particularly useful with a color image sensor of the type having a first sampling frequency in a first color and a second sampling frequency different from the first in a second color. The filter is made to have a frequency response in the first and second colors in relation to the respective first and second sampling frequencies of the sensor. The filter has the advantage that, when used with the color image sensor, aliasing is selectively reduced in each color without reducing resolution in the other colors.
