Abstract: The invention relates to a camera having optical systems for recording both IR images and visual images and a laser pointer. A method of determining the position of the laser spot in the IR image based on the position of the laser spot in the visual image is proposed. One or more parameters related to the displacement between the visual image and the IR image are used to determine the displacement of the laser spot in the IR image compared to the position detected in the visual image. In cameras providing functions for fusion or blending of IR and visual images, such parameters are determined during calibration to enable alignment of the images captured by the different optical systems. Hence, in such cameras, the displacement parameters are already present.

Abstract: A method of displaying together IR image data and visible light image data corresponding to the same field of view in the same image is disclosed, comprising displaying IR image data in at least a first portion of the image and visible light image data in at least a second portion of the image. The method is characterized by the step of displaying the IR image data according to a colouring scheme adapted to the temperature range relevant to the first portion of the image. The resolution in the relevant temperature range may be increased by applying the entire range of colours available in the colouring scheme to the selected temperature range.
