Abstract
Video camera or video camera module, comprising an RGB image sensor, a computer processor adapted to perform pre-processing followed by video compression, and a dazzle detector, characterised in responding to dazzle in one colour channel by reducing values in that colour channel prior to compressing the video data. This has the advantage that in the event of laser dazzle that is specific to a colour channel, the compressed video data generated will retain more detail from the other colour channels compared to a conventional camera.
