Abstract

An apparatus includes a first light source, a second light source, an image sensor circuit, and a processing circuit. The first light source is generally capable of emitting infrared light. The second light source is generally capable of emitting visible light. The image sensor circuit is generally responsive to both the infrared light and the visible light. The processing circuit is generally coupled to the image sensor circuit and configured to generate an image comprising both infrared information and color information.
