Abstract

We propose using a single silicon sensor and a modified Bayer CFA for joint acquisition of color and near-infrared (NIR) images. Silicon sensors, which are placed in most color cameras, are inherently sensitive to NIR. Hence, our proposed design is very similar to consumer color cameras in terms of hardware. The main contribution of this work is an algorithm that estimates full-resolution color and NIR images from subsampled and mixed sensor measurements. Our method results in high-quality RGB and NIR images.
