• Abstract summary: In this paper, we propose a novel task -- Thermal Infrared Image Inpainting. We adopt the edge generator to complete the canny edges of broken TIR images. The completed edges are projected to the normalization weights and biases to enhance edge awareness of the model. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art image inpainting approaches on FLIR thermal dataset.

• Abstract: Image inpainting has achieved fundamental advances with deep learning. However, almost all existing inpainting methods aim to process natural images, while few target Thermal Infrared (TIR) images, which have widespread applications. When applied to TIR images, conventional inpainting methods usually generate distorted or blurry content. In this paper, we propose a novel task -- Thermal Infrared Image Inpainting, which aims to reconstruct missing regions of TIR images. Crucially, we propose a novel deep-learning-based model TIR-Fill. We adopt the edge generator to complete the canny edges of broken TIR images. The completed edges are projected to the normalization weights and biases to enhance edge awareness of the model. In addition, a refinement network based on gated convolution is employed to improve TIR image consistency. The experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art image inpainting approaches on FLIR thermal dataset.

  Thermal Chameleon Network (TCNet) is a task-adaptive tone-mapping approach for 14-bit TIR images. Given the same image, TCNet tone-maps different representations of TIR images tailored for each specific task. TCNet exhibits improved generalization performance across object detection and monocular depth estimation.

  Low-light image enhancement, particularly in cross-domain tasks such as mapping from the raw domain to the sRGB domain, remains a significant challenge. We present a novel Mamba scanning mechanism, called RAWMamba, to effectively handle raw images with different CFAs. We also present a Retinex Decomposition Module (RDM) grounded in Retinex prior, which decouples illumination from reflectance to facilitate more effective denoising and automatic non-linear exposure correction.

  NeRF inpainting methods built upon explicit RGB and depth 2D inpainting supervisions are inherently constrained by the capabilities of their underlying 2D inpainters. We propose MVIP-NeRF that harnesses the potential of diffusion priors for NeRF inpainting, addressing both appearance and geometry aspects. Our experimental results show better appearance and geometry recovery than previous NeRF inpainting methods.

  The insufficient number of annotated thermal infrared (TIR) image datasets hinders TIR image-based deep learning networks to have comparable performances to that of RGB.

We have enabled the supervised learning of deep TIR image-based optical flow estimation and object detection that ameliorated in end point error by 56.5% on average and the best object detection mAP of 23.9% respectively.
