Abstract
A system (S) for combining multi-spectral images of a scene includes a first detector ( ) for transmitting a scene image in a first spectral band. A separate, second detector ( ) senses the scene in a second spectral band. The second detector ( ) has an image output that is representative of the scene. A transparent display ( ) mounted in the output viewing path ( ) of the first detector ( ) and displays a displayed image in the second spectral band. The image of the transparent display is aligned such that the image ( ) of the scene in the second spectral band combines with the image output ( ) in the first spectral band. The combined multi-spectral images ( ) are conveyed to an output ( ) for a user (U).
