Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
simultaneously capturing a pair of images of a scene comprising an infrared image of the scene and a visible image of the scene, wherein the pair of images is captured from substantially a same perspective through separate optical paths of a beamsplitter;
aligning 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;
classifying the visible image, including an identification of one or more objects in the visible image;
classifying the infrared image, including an identification of one or more objects present in the infrared image;
annotating the infrared image based, at least in part, on the classification of the visible image and the classification of the infrared image; and
adding the annotated infrared image to a neural network training dataset for use in training a neural network for infrared image classification.
