Beyond-visible Light Applications in Computer Vision
Computer vision systems aren’t necessarily restricted to solely analyzing the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visually perceivable by humans. Expanding the analysis range to encompass the infrared and/or ultraviolet spectrum, either broadly or selectively and either solely or in conjunction with visible spectrum analysis, can be of great benefit in a range of
