METHOD OF INTEGRATING DIGITAL GRAYSCALE TELEVISION AND THERMAL IMAGES Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G06T5/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: method of integrating digital grayscale television and thermal images involves obtaining original images, performing imaging integration based on criteria summation for each pixel, formation of a resultant image and normalisation of the brightness range of the image. Average brightness is calculated for all brightness values of pixels of the second channel image, as well as the average value of absolute difference between the average brightness value of the second channel image and brightness values of all pixels of the second channel image. For each pixel of the integrated image, the sum of the brightness value of the pixel of the main channel image and the absolute difference of the brightness value of the second channel image and the average brightness of the second channel image is calculated; the average value of the absolute difference of the brightness of the pixels of the second channel image and the average brightness of the second channel image are subtracted from the obtained sum.

EFFECT: high quality of an image containing information elements of images of the same scene obtained in different spectral ranges.
