1. A device comprising: a mosaic optical color filter array comprising a plurality of repeating unit cells that enforce spectral consistency and spatial uniformity, each repeating unit cell of the plurality of repeating unit cells satisfying a minimum focal-plane perimeter criterion and a minimum perimeter-to-area criterion, said minimum perimeter-to-area criterion being satisfied after said minimum focal-plane perimeter criterion; and a short-wave infrared detector optically coupled to said mosaic optical color filter array, wherein said mosaic optical color filter array comprises at least five spectral bands, said plurality of repeating unit cells comprising said at least five spectral bands, wherein each spectral band of the at least five spectral bands comprises a plurality of spatial nearest neighbor and a plurality of spatial next-nearest neighbors, said each spectral band of the at least five spectral bands being located on the mosaic optical color filter array such that said each spectral band has a greater correlation with said plurality of spatial next-nearest neighbors than with said plurality of spatial nearest neighbors.
