20110169911 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLORIZING A MONOCHROME INFRARED IMAGE - A method and apparatus involve electronically transforming a monochromatic infrared source image of a source scene into a natural daylight color image of the source scene as a function of reference information, the only information derived from the source scene and utilized in the transforming being the monochromatic infrared source image. According to a different aspect, an apparatus includes an infrared image detector that provides a monochromatic infrared source image of a source scene, and includes a transformation section that transforms the monochromatic infrared source image into a natural daylight color image of the source scene as a function of reference information, the only information derived from the source scene and utilized in the transforming being the monochromatic infrared source image. | 07-14-2011 |
20130222531 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME - A low-resolution image having a low resolution and low frequency band is generated from an image sensed by using a single board color image sensor, and pseudo color suppression and color noise suppression are performed on each of the image and low-resolution image. The resolution of the low-resolution image is then restored, and weighted combination is performed on this image and the former image. If it is determined that a pixel of interest belongs to a region where a pseudo color is generated, a MIX ratio calculator ( | 08-29-2013 |

20100091089 | INFRARED CAMERA FILTER WHEEL SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Various techniques are provided for identifying filters used with infrared cameras. A plurality of filters may be installed in a filter wheel of an infrared camera. Identifiers associated with the filters may be read by the infrared camera to identify the various types of filters currently installed in the filter wheel. The installed filters can be selected by the camera or a user for use in particular applications as desired. For example, filters may be selected based on associations between the filters, filter identifiers, and targets stored in a table or other record maintained by the infrared camera. Settings of the infrared camera may be adjusted in response to filter selections. | 04-15-2010 |
