Review: Extending Visible Band Computer Vision Techniques to Infrared Band Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Infared imaging process bears many similarities to the visible imaging process. If visible band computer vision techniques can be used on infrared images with no or small adjustments it would save us the trouble of redeveloping a whole new set of techniques. However, there are important differences in the practical environmental parameters between visible and infrared bands that invalidates many convenient background assumptions inherent to visible-band computer vision techniques. We review here the underlying reasons why some computer vision techniques can while some cannot be applied directly to infrared images. We also examine a few attempts to extend computer vision to infrared images and discuss their relative merits.

Dual-band stereo vision based on heterogeneous sensor networks
This paper presents an approach of dual-band imagery based on heterogeneous sensor network which consists of infrared and optical sensors, and our approach of imaging reconstructs the three-dimensional shapes of the objects in some special environments such as smog, darkness, glare and so forth. Two dichroic mirrors are used for the construction of the binocular stereo vision system which consi...
متن کاملBayesian Sensor Image Fusion using Local Linear Generative Models
We present a probabilistic method for fusion of images produced by multiple sensors The approach is based on an image formation model in which the sensor images are noisy locally linear functions of an underlying true scene latent variable A Bayesian framework then provides for maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori estimates of the true scene from the sensor images Least squares estimates ...
متن کاملNon-scanning dual infrared band hyperspectral imaging spectrometer design
Recent advances in dual band infrared focal plane technology now enable the design and testing of a dual infrared band snapshot imaging spectrometer, the first-ever of its kind. A review of proof of concept results from a dual-visible-band Computed Tomographic Imaging Spectrometer (CTIS) system is presented. The dual-visible system demonstrates that it is possible to reconstruct two spatially c...
متن کاملMulti-spectral dataset and its application in saliency detection
Saliency detection has been researched a lot in recent years. Traditional methods are mostly conducted and evaluated on conventional RGB images. Few work has considered the incorporation of multi-spectral clues. Considering the success of including near-infrared spectrum in applications such as face recognition and scene categorization, this paper presents a multi-spectral dataset and applies i...
متن کاملEnhancing the Visible with the Invisible: Exploiting Near- Infrared to Advance Computational Photography and Computer Vision
Silicon-based digital camera sensors exhibit significant sensitivity beyond the visible spectrum (400-700nm). They are able to capture wavelengths up to 1100 nm, i.e., they are sensitive to near-infrared (NIR) radiation. This additional information is conventionally treated as noise and is absorbed by a NIRblocking filter affixed to the sensor. We show that retaining instead of removing NIR inf...
