• Abstract: Infrared (IR) images are widely used in many fields such as medical imaging, object tracking, astronomy and military purposes for securing borders. Infrared images can be captured day or night based on the type of capturing device. The capturing devices use electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths. There are several types of IR radiation based on the range of wavelength and corresponding frequency. Due to noising and other artifacts, IR images are not clearly visible. In this paper, we present a complete up-todate survey on IR imaging enhancement techniques. The survey includes IR radiation types and devices and existing IR datasets. The survey covers spatial enhancement techniques, frequency-domain based enhancement techniques and Deep learning-based techniques.

We leverage a vision transformer architecture to establish benchmark results on the IJB-MDF dataset. We also show that finetuning a body model, pretrained exclusively on VIS data, with a simple combination of cross-entropy and triplet losses achieves state-of-the-art mAP scores.
