An optical sensor system (10) that includes a master lens (12), an optical diffuser (22), and a plurality of optoelectronic devices (24). The master lens (12) is positioned on the vehicle to observe a field of view (14) about the vehicle. An optical diffuser (22) is located proximate to a focal plane (20) of the master lens (12). The diffuser (22) is configured to display an image (16) of the field of view (14) from the master lens (12). A plurality of optoelectronic devices (24) is configured to view (14) the diffuser (22). A first optoelectronic device (24A) generates a first video signal (26A) indicative of images on a first portion (28A) of the diffuser (22). A second optoelectronic device (24B) generates a second video signal (26B) indicative of images on a second portion (28B) of the diffuser (22). Optionally, the first optoelectronic device (24A) is sensitive to a first light wavelength range, and the second optoelectronic device (24B) is sensitive to a second light wavelength range distinct from the first light wavelength range.
