• Abstract summary: wildfire detection is of paramount importance to avoid as much damage as possible to the environment, properties, and lives. Deep Learning models that can leverage both visible and infrared information have the potential to display state-of-the-art performance.

• Abstract: Early wildfire detection is of paramount importance to avoid as much damage as possible to the environment, properties, and lives. Deep Learning (DL) models that can leverage both visible and infrared information have the potential to display state-of-the-art performance, with lower false-positive rates than existing techniques. However, most DL-based image fusion methods have not been evaluated in the domain of fire imagery. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, no publicly available dataset contains visible-infrared fused fire images. There is a growing interest in DL-based image fusion techniques due to their reduced complexity. Due to the latter, we select three state-of-the-art, DL-based image fusion techniques and evaluate them for the specific task of fire image fusion. We compare the performance of these methods on selected metrics. Finally, we also present an extension to one of the said methods, that we called FIRe-GAN, that improves the generation of artificial infrared images and fused ones on selected metrics.

  We propose an Adaptive Multi-scale Fusion network (AMFusion) with infrared and visible images. First, we separately fuse spatial and semantic features from infrared and visible images, where the former are used for the adjustment of light distribution. Second, we utilize detection features extracted by a pre-trained backbone that guide the fusion of semantic features. Third, we propose a new illumination loss to constrain fusion image with normal light intensity.

  We propose an Illumination-Aware Infrared and Visible Image Fusion Network, named as IAIFNet. In our framework, an illumination enhancement network first estimates the incident illumination maps of input images. With the help of proposed adaptive differential fusion module (ADFM) and salient target aware module (STAM), an image fusion network effectively integrates the salient features of the illumination-enhanced infrared and visible images into a fusion image of high visual quality.

  Most existing learning-based infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF) methods exhibit massive redundant information in the fusion images.

Our method is able to generate high-quality fusion images from pairs of infrared and visible images, which can boost the performance of downstream computer-vision tasks.

  This study addresses the issue of fusing infrared and visible images that appear differently for object detection. Previous approaches discover commons underlying the two modalities and fuse upon the common space either by iterative optimization or deep networks. This paper proposes a bilevel optimization formulation for the joint problem of fusion and detection, and then unrolls to a target-aware Dual Adversarial Learning (TarDAL) network for fusion and a commonly used detection network.
