Multiband Camera System Using Color and Near Infrared Images
You Sun Kang, Duk Shin · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
Various applications using a camera system have been developed and deployed commercially to improve our daily life. The performance of camera system is mainly dependent on image quality and illumination conditions. Multiband camera has been developed to provide a wealth of information for image acquisition. In this paper, we developed two applications about image segmentation and face detection using a multiband camera, which is available in four bands consisting of a near infrared and three color bands. We proposed a multiband camera system to utilize two different images i.e. color image extracted from Bayer filter and near infrared images. The experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed system.
