An image-guided diffusion network has two Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs). A RGB image and an IR image are concatenated with a Gaussian noise image and input to a denoising neural network that merges information from the RGB and IR images as noise is removed over many iterations. Then an enhancement neural network up-samples for Super Resolution (SR) and convolutes to generate a condition vector that controls Global Feature Modulation (GFM) at three convolution layers to generate a SRGFM enhanced fusion image. Timesteps are embedded using adaptive group normalization blocks within Adaptive Bottleneck Residual (ABR) blocks in the denoising network, which is a UNet having many levels of ABRs, and in the enhancement network before feature modulation. Global image features are detected by triple convoluting the image input to the enhancement network to generate the condition vector that controls feature modulation blocks at three layers of convolution.
