Abstract
Provided herein is an imager device for fusing an image from multiple sources. The device includes a focal plane array detector for obtaining an image of a scene at a first wavelength; a display projector for projecting a projected image of the scene obtained by the focal plane array detector at a second wavelength; and a splitter/combiner element positioned to direct a line of sight of the focal plane array detector in a first direction and to direct the projected image in a second direction. The device is configured such that a normal line of sight having a third wavelength passes through the splitter/combiner element without being deflected by the splitter/combiner element. An assembly including an optical scope and an imager device for fusing an image from multiple sources is also provided. The scope may be a direct view optical scope or an indirect view optical scope.
