Camera design for the simultaneous capture of near-infrared and visible images
Abstract
A camera for simultaneously capturing a visible and near-infrared (NIR) image of one or more objects, the camera comprising: at least one colour filter array (CFA) including at least four different filters, said at least one colour filter array having visible and near-infrared light filters, at least one sensor unit configured to detect visible and near-infrared wavelengths, generate sensor response data based on the detected visible and near-infrared wavelengths, and generate the visible and near-infrared images based on the sensor response data; and at least one filter configured to block the near-infrared light in a range extending from a lowest near-infrared wavelength up to a wavelength in which all of the visible filters of said at least one colour filter array have an equal transmittance.

Near-infrared spectroscopy
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from 780 nm to 2500 nm). Typical applications include medical and physiological diagnostics and research including blood sugar, pulse oximetry, functional neuroimaging, sports medicine, elite sports training, ergonomics, rehabilitation, neonatal research, brain computer interface, urology (bladder contraction), and neurology (neurovascular coupling).
Infrared
Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than those of visible light and shorter than radio waves. It is therefore invisible to the human eye. IR is generally understood to encompass wavelengths from around 1 millimeter (300 GHz) to the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum, around 700 nanometers (430 THz). IR is commonly divided between longer-wavelength thermal infrared that is emitted from terrestrial sources and shorter-wavelength near-infrared that is part of the solar spectrum.
Optical filter
An optical filter is a device that selectively transmits light of different wavelengths, usually implemented as a glass plane or plastic device in the optical path, which are either dyed in the bulk or have interference coatings. The optical properties of filters are completely described by their frequency response, which specifies how the magnitude and phase of each frequency component of an incoming signal is modified by the filter. Filters mostly belong to one of two categories.
