Abstract
This document describes techniques and apparatuses for implementing adaptive low-light view modes. These techniques and apparatuse enable a computing device to capture infrared (IR) imagery at a particular location and retrieve, based on the particular location, previously-captured imagery that corresponds with the IR imagery. The IR imagery and previously-captured imagery can then be combined to provide composite imagery, which is presented to a user. By so doing, the user's view of the particular location can be enhanced, particularly in low-light conditions.
