Abstract
A method for image acquisition includes receiving, by an image acquisition computing device, a digitized LiDAR image frame and a thermal image frame of a region of interest from a read out integrated circuit of an image acquisition device coupled to the image acquisition computing device. The LiDAR image frame and the thermal image frame are processed to detect one or more objects of interest located in the region of interest. The detected one or more objects of interest are correlated between the LiDAR image frame and the thermal image frame. The detected one or more objects of interest are identified based on the correlation between the LiDAR image frame and the thermal image frame. An integrated LiDAR and thermal image acquisition device is also disclosed.
