DeepIR
DeepIR, or Deep InfraRed image processing, is a thermal image processing framework for recovering high quality images from a very small set of images captured with camera motion. Enhancement is achieved by noting that camera motion, which is usually a hinderance, can be exploited to our advantage to separate a sequence of images into the scene-dependent radiant flux, and a slowly changing scene-independent non-uniformity. DeepIR combines the physics of microbolometer sensors, with powerful regularization capabilities by neural network-based representations. DeepIR relies on the key observation that jittering a camera, while unwanted in visible domain, is highly desirable in the thermal domain as it allows an accurate separation of the sensor-specific non-uniformities from the scene’s radiant flux.
