    Abstract: An infrared (“IR”) camera includes first and second imaging parts for capturing an IR image and a visible light image, respectively. The field of view of the second imaging part at least partially overlaps the field of view of the first imaging part. The first imaging part includes IR optics. The second imaging part includes visible light optics. The IR camera also includes a focus motor for focusing at least one of the IR optics or the visible light optics. A sensor is operable to determine the position of the focus motor. Based on the position of the focus motor, a processor determines actual displacement for aligning the IR and visual light images. The actual displacement includes displacement due to parallax error and error due to the angle between the optical axes of the first and second imaging parts.

    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.
