The present invention discloses a method for converting visible light to
infrared images based on a
diffusion model, comprising the following steps: collecting visible light images as input data; performing a forward
diffusion process on the input images to form a
noise image sequence; gradually recovering image details from the
noise through a trained denoising neural network, decomposing the image into reflection and illumination components, and designing a
loss function to ensure that the generated
infrared image is highly consistent with the real
infrared image in terms of
thermal radiation characteristics and temperature distribution; and achieving efficient training and updating of
model parameters by jointly optimizing a comprehensive
loss function including generative adversarial loss,
diffusion loss, physical constraint loss, and multi-scale
discriminant loss. This method effectively solves the problems of
poor quality, loss of details, and insufficient physical consistency in
infrared image generation under low light and complex backgrounds in traditional methods. This technology not only improves the visual quality and physical authenticity of infrared images, but also has strong environmental adaptability and generalization performance.
