Identification of transparent objects from image discrepancies

Abstract:

A computing system is provided. The computing system includes a visible light camera, a thermal camera, and a processor with associated storage. The processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the storage to receive, from the visible light camera, a visible light image for a frame of a scene and receive, from the thermal camera, a thermal image for the frame of the scene. The processor is configured to detect image discrepancies between the visible light image and the thermal image and, based on the detected image discrepancies, determine a presence of a transparent object in the scene. The processor is configured to, based on the detected image discrepancies, output an identification of at least one location in the scene that is associated with the transparent object.
