UL3DCN lightweight 3D convolutional network in wearable thermal imaging exhibits high contrast, low noise, and sharp boundaries

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1115976 "instead of filtering static image, treat single infrared frame as part of temperature sequence during thermal equilibrium... 3-step non-linear spatio-temporal transformation creates/ analyzes filters simulating IR image sequences at different temperature intervals finding spatio-temporal correlations... Zero-Reference Deep Curve Estimation model constructs high-order, pixel-level curve to map out and predict the final enhanced image... firefighting masks"

Grown/ peeled ultrathin pyroelectric films that sense heat and other signals enable lightweight scopes and night-vision glasses
