1. An image sensor configured to output transformed image data, the image sensor comprising: a set of pixel sensors that are sensitive to light; and a set of filter elements positioned adjacent to the set of pixel sensors, wherein each pixel sensor of the set of pixel sensors comprises a sub-division of a pixel and each filter element of the set of filter elements comprises a sub-division corresponding to the sub-divisions of the adjacent pixel sensor, each filter element subdivision having transmissivity related to at least a partial coefficient of an image compression transform, wherein the set of filter elements transforms light striking the set of pixel sensors to enable the image sensor to output transformed image data.
