materials classification

A long-standing problem in thermal imaging is the inherent assumption of a uniform and known emissivity across an entire image. Semantic segmentation of the materials in a thermal image can identify the pixel-wise emissivity, thus rectifying the spatially uniform emissivity assumption with no human intervention. We have created a multispectral thermal image dataset consisting of nine materials (acrylic, aluminum, bakelite, ceramic, cork, EVA, granite, maple, and silicone) at six different temperatures.
