Infrared person detection: Thermal channel analyzed for calibration cost and detection gain

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper explores the components of infrared person detection, identifying that the calibrated thermal channel is composed of two distinct, orthogonal axes. The study found that true calibrated temperature difference outperforms grayscale approximations, indicating unique information within the thermal channel. However, preserving both the paired correspondence and absolute scale of calibration significantly increases expected calibration error, a cost that persists even after recalibration. AI

    The Paired Thermal Channel Is Two Orthogonal Axes: A Controlled Attribution Study of Calibration Cost and Detection Gain in Infrared Person Detection

    arXiv:2610.33118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The calibrated thermal channel in infrared person detection comprises two structurally orthogonal axes. True calibrated $\Delta T$ outperforms scale-matched grayscale pseudo-$\Delta T$ by $+0.0221$ mAP (paired Wilcoxon $p=0.0098$, C…
