• Abstract: Thermal images can be obtained as either grayscale images or pseudo colored images based on the thermal profile of the object being captured. We present a novel registration method that works on images captured via multiple thermal imagers irrespective of make and internal resolution as well as a colorization scheme that can be used to obtain a colorized thermal image which is similar to an optical image, while retaining the information of the thermal profile as a part of the output, thus providing information of both domains jointly. We call this a cross domain colorized image. We also outline a new public thermal-optical paired database that we are presenting as a part of this paper, containing unique data points obtained via multiple thermal imagers. Finally, we compare the results with prior literature, show how our results are different and discuss on some future work that can be explored further in this domain as well.

  We argue that domain gaps can also be caused by different foreground (nucleus)-background ratios. First, we introduce a re-coloring method that relieves dramatic image color variations between different domains. Second, we propose a new instance normalization method that is robust to the variation in the foreground-background ratios.

  This paper proposes a network named TNet to solve the RGB-T salient object detection (SOD) task.

On the other hand, we introduce a two-stage localization and complementation module in the decoding phase to transfer object localization cue and internal integrity cue in thermal features to the RGB modality.

  Image recoloring is an emerging editing technique that can manipulate the color values of an image to give it a new style. In this paper, we explore a solution from the perspective of the spatial correlation, which exhibits the generic detection capability for both conventional and deep learning-based recoloring. Our method achieves the state-of-the-art detection accuracy on multiple benchmark datasets and exhibits well generalization for unknown types of recoloring methods.

  Self-supervised learning of depth and ego-motion from thermal images shows strong robustness and reliability under challenging scenarios. The inherent thermal image properties such as weak contrast, blurry edges, and noise hinder to generate effective self-supervision from thermal images. We propose an effective thermal image mapping method that significantly increases image information, such as overall structure, contrast, and details, while preserving temporal consistency.

• Robust Perceptual Night Vision in Thermal Colorization [1.1709244686171956]
  Objects appear in one spectrum but not necessarily in the other, and the thermal signature of a single object may have different colours in its Visible representation. This makes a direct mapping from thermal to Visible images impossible. Deep learning method to map the thermal signature from the thermal image's spectrum to a Visible representation in their low-frequency space is proposed.
