Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (400-700nm) only. Ultraviolet radiation is filtered out by the optical elements of the camera, while a specifically designed “hot-mirror” is pl...

Standard digital cameras are sensitive to radiation in the near-infrared domain, but this additional cue is in general discarded. In this paper, we consider the scene categorisation problem in the context of images where both standard visible RGB channels and near infrared information are available. Using efficient local patch-based Fisher Vector image representations, we show based on thorough...

Due to the different photosensitive properties of infrared and visible light, light images have individual features. However, since registered RGB-T image pairs shot in same scene, they also contain common This paper proposes a Siamese fusion Network (SiamIVFN) for RBG-T image-based tracking. SiamIVFN contains two main subnetworks: complementary-feature-fusion network (CFFN) contribution-aggreg...

Visible light communications (VLC) is a good candidate technology for the 6th generation (6G) wireless communications. Red, green, and blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based VLC has become an important research branch due to its low price high reliability. However, saturation of photodiode (PD) caused by ambient background may seriously degrade bit error rate (BER) performance RGB-VLC sy...

[1] Using a combination of idealized radiative transfer simulations and a case study from the first field campaign of the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) in southern Morocco, this paper provides a systematic assessment of the limitations of the widely used Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) red-green-blue (RGB) thermal infrared dust product. Both analyses indicate th...
