Aspects of the disclosure are directed toward systems and methods for combining aspects of a plurality of indexed images taken at different focus distances in order to generate a final image having objects at a variety of depths remain in focus. High frequency frames associated with each of the plurality of images can be generated, each high frequency frame being representative of the high frequency content of the associated image. The high frequency content in a plurality of regions in each of the plurality of high frequency frames can be analyzed to determine which regions include valid high frequency content. A final image can be generated comprising, for each of the plurality of regions, image data from the image having like index as the high frequency frame having the greatest valid high frequency content in that region.

Through-focus image combination

A method for presenting a thermal image within a visible light image includes the steps of: identifying an outline of each object of interest within the visible light image; and, selecting an area of the visible light image, whose edge corresponds to the outline of each object of interest, in which to present the thermal image. An alternative method includes the steps of: identifying an area of interest within the thermal image; and selecting another area, separate from the area of interest, from which to remove a portion of the thermal image in order to display the visible light image therein. The visible light and thermal images are captured by a system that includes a visible light camera module and an infrared camera module. The visible light and thermal images are displayed on a display of the system, and selections are made via an interactive element of the system.
