T-CLIP: Enabling Thermal Perception for Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2606.00673v1 Announce Type: new Thermal imaging offers a powerful alternative to visible-spectrum vision under challenging conditions such as low illumination and adverse weather, yet foundational vision-language models like CLIP fail to align thermal images with textual descriptions due to a fundamental thermal perception gap.
