Combining images captured from a multispectral camera

Abstract

This article discusses multispectral imaging that is based on capturing image data at specific wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum. Panchromatic images were captured by a RedEdge camera. This camera features global shutters for distortion-free images, including narrowband red, green, and blue bands for RGB color images that when processed are aligned to all visible and non-visible bands and vegetation indices. Captured images were processed with the Matlab program. Combined images weighted by the vegetation index were created as well as RGB combined images. The obtained RGB image was compared with the RGB image captured by a regular camera.
