HIGH RESOLUTION MULTISPECTRAL IMAGE CAPTURE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device, comprising:
- a beam splitter to split incoming light into a first light portion and a second light portion;
a first camera that records a red, green, blue (RGB) image based on the first light portion;
an occlusion mask that subsamples light radiance from the second light portion to provide multispectral samples; and
a second camera that records a grayscale image that includes the multispectral samples.

Abstract
The use of a hybrid camera tool may capture high resolution multispectral images without sacrificing resolution in exchange for spectral accuracy. The capture of a high resolution multispectral image may include forming a high spatial resolution image based on a portion of incoming light and generating a high spectral resolution image that includes multispectral samples based on another portion of the incoming light. The high resolution multispectral image is then synthesized by consolidating the high spatial resolution image with the high spectral resolution image.

7. A method, comprising:
-
forming a high spatial resolution image from a first light portion of an incoming light; generating a high spectral resolution image that includes multispectral samples based on a second light portion of the incoming light, the high spectral resolution image having less spatial resolution and more spectral resolution than the high spatial resolution image; and consolidating the high spatial resolution image with the high spectral resolution image to generate a consolidated image having a spatial resolution of the high spatial resolution image and a spectral resolution of the high spectral resolution image. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
