Abstract

Thermal imaging and navigation systems and related techniques are provided to improve the operation of manned or unmanned mobile platforms, including passenger vehicles. A system includes a thermal imaging device configured to be mounted on a vehicle. The thermal imaging device is configured to, when mounted on the vehicle, capture a first image of a scene encompassing a portion of the vehicle and capture a second image associated with a reflection of the scene from the portion of the vehicle. The system further includes a logic device configured to communicate with the thermal imaging device and determine a disparity map based on the first image and the second image.
