    Abstract: An image acquisition device includes a first image sensor having a first spatial resolution and configured to acquire a first image based on a first wavelength band, a second image sensor having a second spatial resolution lower than the first spatial resolution and configured to acquire a second image based on a second wavelength band wider than the first wavelength band, and a processor configured to register the first image and the second image by using a relative position information between the first image sensor and the second image sensor; generate a third image, of which a color component is determined by replacing a color component of the first image with a color component of the second image; and generate a fourth image, of which a color component is determined by synthesizing the color component of the first image and the color component of the third image through alpha blending.
