Abstract
In a low-light scene, we often take pictures with a Near-Infrared (NIR) lighting. We can use the NIR lighting in any situation because NIR is not visible. So the NIR lighting can be used for wildlife photography, security camera and so on. However, an NIR image has no chroma component. In this paper, we propose a colorization method for the NIR image using a noisy-color image. Our proposed method is robuster than existing methods for noise and misregistration of the input images.
