For imaging devices having three color sensor planes, say RGB, this technology is implemented by spatially offsetting the three sensor planes (or scanning sequences), such that they yield a single array of outputs with higher spatial density. Also, the R:G:B proportion of sensor elements may need to be appropriately changed but maintaining the same total number. The digitized output values produced by such an array or sequence are handled by the existing circuitry and memory which need not be enhanced to the extent that the total amount of sensor outputs is the same as in the original system. However, the data from the rearranged sensor plane can be decoded later with Chromaplex's algorithms into three image planes of primary colors, each having higher density of pixels and in registration with each other. Thus, resolution is increased (up to 4 times) by modifying only the sensor level of the system and then applying Chromaplex's demultiplexing algorithms to construct a full-color picture at the receiver.
