ABSTRACT:
An imaging device and methodology for sequentially adjusting an imaging direction to generate color unit images that together form a color panoramic image are provided. The imaging direction is sequentially adjusted to generate infrared unit images that together form an infrared panoramic image. The color panoramic image is produced by overlaying the color unit images, one color unit image on another, and the infrared panoramic image is produced by overlaying the infrared unit images, one infrared image on another. A resultant image is synthesized from the color panoramic image and the infrared panoramic image by overlaying, on an infrared image of an object, a color image corresponding to the location where the object has been imaged in infrared, and the resultant image is displayed.
