Image compositing via multi-spectral detection

摘要

A video image capture component includes a light source operable in a first spectrum, a first image detector operable in the first spectrum, a second light source operable in a second spectrum, and a second image detector operable in the second spectrum. A filtering component generates a combination image by filtering a first image obtained by the first image detector with a high-contrast filter, resulting in a high-contrast image, and masking a second image obtained by the second image detector using the high-contrast image. A compositing component creates a composite image from the combination image and a selected image. A display component displays the composite image.;Alternative systems and methods for creating a combination image include techniques involving thermal imaging, laser detection, and narrow band frequency detection.

1. A system, comprising:
an imaging component including:
a source configured to illuminate an object with emissions in a first spectrum;a first image detector operable within the first spectrum and generating a first image;a second image detector operable within a second spectrum and generating a second image;a processor, configured to generate a high-contrast image by applying a high-contrast filter to the first image, and further configured to generate a first masked image by masking the second image with the high-contrast image; and a compositing component creating a composite image from the first masked image and a selected image.
