Patent attributes
An enhanced fluorescence imaging system includes a light source for emitting non-visible and visible light and an image sensor for capturing non-visible and visible light image data. Data processing hardware performs operations that include determining a non-visible value associated with an amount of non-visible light captured by the image sensor and applying a color map to each non-visible value to generate non-visible light selected color values. The operations also include weighting a visible light chroma value with a non-visible chroma value to generate weighted chroma values and combining luma values of each pixel of the visible light image data to the weighted chroma values. The operations also include generating RGB values based on the luma values of the visible light image data and the weighted chroma values and transmitting the RGB values to the display.
