Systems and methods directed toward combining visible light and infrared images can include processing visible light image data to determine an edge factor value for a plurality of visible light pixels corresponding to the strength of an edge at that location. The edge factor value can be determined using features from the visible light image data and an edge gain input, which may be adjustable by a user. The edge factor values are combined with an edge midscale value to create a first set of modified visible light image data including pixels emphasized based on the strength of the edge in the visible light image. The modified visible light image data is combined with infrared image data to create combined image data having contribution from the infrared image data and the edge factor values from the visible light image data. 本申请涉及用于热可见组合的图像和相机的边缘增强。针对组合可见光和红外线图像的系统和方法可以包括：处理可见光图像数据，以为对应于在该位置处的边缘强度的多个可见光像素确定边缘因子值。边缘因子值可以使用来自可见光图像数据和边缘增益输入的特征来确定，边缘增益输入可由用户可调节。组合边缘因子值与边缘中档值，以创建包括基于可见光图像中的边缘强度强调的像素的第组修改的可见光图像数据。
