Abstract
A system, a method, and software for image fusion are disclosed. Image sensors sense light and generate image sensor data in response to the light. Spectral detectors detect energy of the light proximate each image sensor, and a voltage value corresponding to the detected energy is determined. A weight factor for each image sensor is calculated according to the voltage value. The image sensor data from each image sensor is weighted according to the weight factor for the image sensor, and the weighted image sensor data are fused.
