Abstract
A thermal imaging apparatus includes an infrared camera module, aligned along a first axis, and a visible light camera module, aligned along a second axis. The apparatus employs a magnification correction factor, along with parallax correction, to register an infrared image, obtained by the infrared module, with a visible light image, obtained by the infrared module.
