Visual Infrared Video Fusion for Night Vision using Background Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Video fusion is a process that combines visual data from different sensors to obtain a single composite video preserving the information of the sources. The availability of a system, enhancing human ability to perceive the observed scenario, is crucial to improve the performance of a surveillance system. The infrared (IR) camera captures thermal image of object in night-time environment, when only limited visual information can be captured by RGB camera. The fusion of data recorded by an IR sensor and a visible RGB camera can produce information otherwise not obtainable by viewing the sensor outputs separately. In this paper we consider the problem of fusing two video streams acquired by an RGB camera and an IR sensor. The pedestrians, distinctly captured by IR video, are separated and fused with the RGB video. The algorithms implemented involve estimation of the background, followed by detection of object from the IR Video, after necessary denoising. Finally a suitable fusion algorithm is employed to combine the extracted pedestrians with the visual output. The obtained results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed video fusion scheme, for night vision.

Context enhancement through infrared vision: a modified fusion scheme
In the night vision applications, visual and infrared images are often fused for an improved awareness of situation or environment. The fusion algorithms can generate a composite image that retains most important information from source images for human perception. The state of the art includes manipulating in the color spaces and implementing pixel-level fusion with multiresolution algorithms....
متن کاملTrue-Color Night Vision (TCNV) Fusion System using a VNIR EMCCD and a LWIR Microbolometer Camera
A fully functional, prototype night vision camera system is described which produces true-color imagery, using a visible/near-infrared (VNIR) color EMCCD camera, fused with the output from a thermal long-wave infrared (LWIR) microbolometer camera. The fusion is performed in a manner that displays the complimentary information from both sources without destroying the true-color information. The ...

متن کاملAn Exploration of Color Fusion with Multispectral Images for Night Vision Enhancement
Multispectral images usually present complimentary information such as visual-band imagery and infrared imagery (near infrared or long wave infrared). There are strong evidences that the fused multispectral imagery (in gray scales) increases the reliability of interpretation (Rogers & Wood, 1990; Essock et al., 2001) and thus good for machine analysis (computer vision); whereas the colorized mu...
