Bispectral pick-up and false color display system
First Claim
1. A bispectral pick-up and false color display system comprising:
- first analyzing means for analyzing a picture in a visible spectral range and for outputting a first video signal representing a first analyzed picture;
second analyzing means for analyzing a picture in an infrared spectral range and for outputting a second video signal representing a second analyzed picture;
mixing means for mixing the first and second video signals and for outputting therefrom three color control signals, each color control signal being a combination of the first and second video signals, wherein adjustable coefficients are assigned to each color control signal;
setting means for setting the coefficients of each of the color control signals; and
display means for displaying a color picture, by a combination of three primary colors, respectively controlled by the three color control signals.

Abstract
A bispectral pick-up and false color display system which comprises a bispectral camera for analyzing a picture in the visible range and a picture in the infrared range, and outputting two respective video signals, one for the visible range and one for the infrared range. A mixer then mixes these two video signals and derives, therefrom, three color control signals, each color control signal being a linear combination of the two video signals given by the bispectral camera. A manual setting device then sets or adjusts the coefficients of each of the combinations. A standard color television monitor then can display a picture as a function of the three color control signals. The disclosed device can be applied to target-sighting and target-tracking devices for land vehicles.
