The invention discloses a visible-
infrared bi-pass camera, which comprises an imaging device, an
infrared light-path access, a visible light light-path access, an FPA (floating-point accelerator)
chip, a visible light reading light-path and an optical
receiver, wherein the imaging device comprises a visible-
infrared imaging objective lens; the visible-infrared imaging objective lens comprises a light splitting device; the infrared light-path access is used for imaging the infrared light obtained from the light splitting of the light splitting device on the FPA
chip through the infrared light-path access; the visible light light-path access is used for reading the image information on the FPA
chip and reflecting the image information on the optical
receiver; and the imaging device is used for imaging the visible light obtained from the light splitting of the light
spitting device on the optical
receiver through the visible light light-path access. According to the visible-infrared bi-pass camera disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the splitting of the visible light and the infrared light on a light-path space is realized through light splitting devices, the infrared light imaging is realized by using the FPA chip, and the imaging information is read by the visible light light-path access and is displayed on the optical receiver subsequently, so that the
system cost is reduced, and meanwhile the
power consumption is reduced.
