Abstract
A dual sensor imaging system and a privacy protection imaging method thereof are provided. The system is configured to control at least one color sensor and at least one IR sensor to respectively capture multiple color images and multiple IR images by adopting multiple exposure conditions adapted for an imaging scene, adaptively select a combination of the color image and the IR image that can reveal details of the imaging scene, detect a feature area with features of a target of interest in the color image, and fuse the color image and the IR image to generate a fusion image with the details of the imaging scene, and crop an image of the feature area of the fusion image to be replaced with an image not belonging to the IR image, so as to generate a scene image.
