1. A method of improving an IR image comprising:
- a) capturing a visual image and an IR image of an object;
b) altering at least one of a resolution of said visual image and a resolution of said IR image;
c) high pass filtering said visual image to generate a processed visual image;
d) low pass filtering said IR image to generate a processed IR image; and
e) combining information from said processed visual image and information from said processed IR image to generate a combined image.
