  • Converting an image from a dual-band sensor to a visible color image
    Patent number: 9544562
    Abstract: One embodiment describes a method for converting a dual-band image to a visible color image. The method includes converting the dual-band image to data in a placeholder image in a placeholder color space. The placeholder color space employs a wavelet-based image fusion technique while mimicking the oppositional color processing technique of the human visual system. The placeholder image is further mapped into visible color space, generating the visible color image.
