Claim One:
1. An imaging system, comprising: a thermal imaging device comprising a thermal imaging module configured to capture a thermal image of an object; a visible light(VL) imaging device comprising a VL imaging module configured to capture a VL image of the object; and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the thermal imaging module and the VL imaging module, the one or more processors configured to: determine a thermal edge image based on the thermal image, the thermal edge image representing edges and/or contours captured in the thermal image, determine a VL edge image based on the VL image, the VL edge image representing edges and/or contours captured in the VL image, determine, based on the VL edge image and the thermal edge image, a horizontal translation and a vertical translation from a range of horizontal and vertical translations, such that a correlation between the VL edge image and the thermal edge image is highest when the VL edge image or the thermal edge is translated according to the horizontal translation and the vertical translation, and apply the horizontal translation and the vertical translation to the thermal image or the VL image to correct a parallax error between the thermal image and the VL image.
