The invention relates to a combined visible and infrared image sensor incorporating a selective infrared filter. The present invention discloses a pixel array comprising: green pixels including a first green filter and a first clear filter; red pixels including a red filter and a first special filter; blue pixels including a blue filter and a second special filter; and IR pixels including an IR filter and one of a second green filter and a second clear filter, wherein the first special filter suppresses IR transmission at a stop band centered at 850 nm at a first IR minimum transmission rate,the second special filter suppresses IR transmission at the stop band centered at 850 nm at a second IR minimum transmission rate, and the first minimum IR transmission rate is different from the second minimum IR transmission rate.
