Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
an infrared camera configured to capture an infrared image of a scene;
a visible light camera configured to capture a visible light image of the scene;
a beamsplitter arranged to reflect a first image of the scene towards the infrared camera and pass through a second image of the scene to the visible light camera; and
a logic device configured to:
simultaneously capture a pair of images of the scene comprising the infrared image of the scene and the visible image of the scene, wherein the pair of images is captured from substantially a same perspective through separate optical paths of the beamsplitter;
align the pair of images so that a pixel location in one of the pair of images has a corresponding pixel location in the other image, and both corresponding pixels represent the same position in the scene;
classify the visible image, including an identification of one or more objects in the visible image;
classify the infrared image, including an identification of one or more objects in the infrared image;
annotate the infrared image based, at least in part, on the classification of the visible image and the classification of the infrared image; and
add the annotated infrared image to a neural network training dataset for use in training a neural network for infrared image classification.
