Abstract
A plurality of thermal images forward of a vehicle are collected. Thermal data in the plurality of thermal images is normalized based on an ambient air temperature to generate a plurality of normalized thermal images. The plurality of normalized thermal images are input to a machine learning program trained to output an identification of an object based on the ambient air temperature and a risk of collision between the vehicle and the object. A vehicle component is actuated based on the identification of the object and the risk of collision with the object.
