… self-supervised learning of depth and ego-motion from thermal images shows strong robustness and reliability under challenging scenarios.

However … thermal image properties such as weak contrast, blurry edges, and noise hinder to generate effective self-supervision

… Therefore, most research relies on additional self-supervision sources such as well-lit RGB images, generative models, and Lidar information.

… conduct an in-depth analysis of thermal image characteristics that degenerates self-supervision from thermal images.

… propose … thermal image mapping method that significantly increases image information, such as overall structure, contrast, and details, while preserving temporal consistency.

… shows outperformed depth and pose results than previous state-of-the-art networks without leveraging additional RGB guidance.
