Is it white? Is it just "non-black"?
Is there any reliable way to include or exclude hues based on grayscale images?
Could cameras be modified to capture an occasional color frame, even if very dim, to help? Maybe with a slow shutter and blur, but color?
From another thread: A Little Embarrassed And Pissed About This But Its My Fault (Analytics Missed Camera Theft)
Related: Hikvision claims something like this in a forthcoming DarkfighterX offering:
The DarkFighterX cameras take information from an IR sensor (for brightness) and information from a visible light sensor (for colour) and combines them to provide the best of both worlds – one bright full-colour image.
We put a request into Hikvision USA and will update when we receive.
Interesting.
Or we could just wait for that Sharp camera to be available to the general public anytime now ;)
