Abstract

Methods and apparatuses of registering on a camera display separate fields of view of a visible light camera module and an infrared camera module by focusing the IR camera module. The fields of view can be displayed in several display modes including 1) full screen visible, infrared and/or blended, 2) picture-in-a-picture such as partial infrared image in a full screen visible image, and 3) infrared color alarms in visible-light images.
