Hello everyone,
Is it possible to convert an image captured in Visible Wavelength (VW) to Near Infrared (NIR) using Matlab?
Thanks,

Wouldn't that be nice? It could sure save over the cost of infrared cameras. But unfortunately for you the answer is no. If the infrared wavelengths were never captured by the imaging device, nothing you do afterwards in MATLAB can discover them. They're just plain not there.

You can't do it with a webcam - those just aren't built for tinkering with. You'd need a DSLR or perhaps some point-and-shoot cameras. On the web there are instructions for doing this, for example Makezine
