Abstract:
A near-infrared thermal-imaging camera includes a first lens unit for generating a first image based on far infrared, a second lens unit for generating a second image based on near-infrared, a near infrared source unit to project NIR light toward an object in a target direction, and a processor to perform image fusion on the first and second images to generate a fusion image.

Claim (Index 1):
A near-infrared thermal-imaging camera comprising:\n a first lens unit disposed to receive electromagnetic waves from a target scene, and allowing passage of at least a portion of the electromagnetic waves received thereby that falls within a spectrum of far infrared (FIR), the at least a portion of the electromagnetic waves passing through said first lens unit representing a first image; a second lens unit disposed to receive electromagnetic waves substantially from the target scene, and allowing passage of at least a portion of the electromagnetic waves received thereby that falls within a spectrum of near infrared (NIR), which ranges between 0.4 \u03bcm and 1 \u03bcm in terms of wavelength, the at least a portion of the electromagnetic waves passing through said second lens unit representing a second image, wherein the electromagnetic waves passing through said first lens unit and the electromagnetic waves passing through said second lens unit are independent from each other; an NIR source unit configured to project NIR light that has a wavelength falling within the spectrum of near infrared toward the target scene, such that the NIR light projected thereby is reflected to said second lens unit by an object disposed in the target scene; and a processor configured to perform image fusion on the first and second images to generate a fusion image.
