Abstract
A method for processing RGB-Infrared (RGB-IR) sensor data is provided that includes receiving a raw RGB-IR image, determining whether to process the raw RGB-IR image in day mode or night mode, generating, when day mode is determined, an infrared (IR) subtracted raw Bayer image from the raw RGB-IR image and processing the IR subtracted raw Bayer image in an image signal processor (ISP), and generating, when night mode is determined, an IR image from the raw RGB-IR image.
