1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions for training a learning model for use with unmanned aerial vehicle navigation; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
produce a first image including infrared data from an infrared light onboard an unmanned aerial vehicle by simulating a reflection of the infrared data to determine a simulated infrared illumination range within an environment depicted by a first copy of input image data;
perform range-based darkening against a second copy of the input image data to produce a second image including darkened RGB color data;
combine the first image and the second image to produce a combined image; and
train the learning model based on the combined image.
