Paper Abstract
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 system can run in true-color mode in day-light down to about
1/4-moon conditions, below this light level the system can function in a monochrome VNIR/LWIR fusion mode. An
embedded processor is used to perform the fusion in real-time at 30 frames/second and produces both digital and analog
color video outputs. The system can accommodate a variety of modifications to meet specific user needs, and various
additional fusion algorithms can be incorporated making the system a test-bed for real time fusion technology under a
variety of conditions.
