Optical filter for improved multispectral imaging performance in stereo camera

A system comprising:

• a stereo camera comprising a first image sensor and a second image sensor;
• a first optical filter that prevents the first image sensor from accumulating near infrared electromagnetic radiation;
• and
• an emitter comprising a plurality of sources of electromagnetic radiation, wherein the plurality of sources comprises:
• a visible source that emits electromagnetic radiation within a visible waveband of the electromagnetic spectrum;
• and
• a near infrared source that emits electromagnetic radiation within a near infrared waveband of the electromagnetic spectrum;
• wherein the first image sensor detects visible electromagnetic radiation and reads out a visible data frame in response to the emitter cycling on the visible source;
• and
• wherein the second image sensor detects near infrared electromagnetic radiation and reads out a near infrared data frame in response to the emitter cycling on the near infrared source.
