Summary:An optical sensor system (20) adapted to operate through a window (12) of a vehicle (10) includes a lens (24), a plurality of optoelectronic devices (28), and an optical device (40). The lens (24) is configured to direct light from a field-of-view (22) toward a focal plane (26). The plurality of optoelectronic devices (28) are arranged proximate to the focal plane (26). The plurality of optoelectronic devices (28) includes a first optoelectronic device (28A) operable to detect an image from a first portion (34) of the field-of-view (22), and a second optoelectronic device (28B) operable to detect light from a second portion (36) of the field-of-view (22) distinct from the first portion (34). The optical device (40) is configured to direct light from outside the field-of-view (22) toward the second portion (36).
