Object of interest colorization

A computing system, comprising:

• a logic machine;
• and
• a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to:
• receive, from a camera, an input image including a plurality of input image pixels;
• classify, via a machine-learning trained classifier, one or more of the plurality of input image pixels as a set of input interest pixels corresponding to an object of interest;
• generate a display image including a plurality of display image pixels corresponding to the plurality of input image pixels, each of the plurality of display image pixels having pixel values determined based on relative temperature values of objects in a real-world environment imaged by the display image pixels, the plurality of display image pixels including a set of display interest pixels corresponding to the set of input interest pixels;
• colorize the set of display interest pixels with a color selected based on a recognized class of the object of interest to give a colorized display image, the selected color being independent of the relative temperature values of the object of interest given by the pixel values of the display interest pixels;
• and
• display the colorized display image with the set of display interest pixels colorized with the selected color.

A head-mounted display device, comprising:

• a near-eye display;
• a thermal camera;
• a logic machine;
• and
• a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to:
• receive, from the thermal camera, a thermal image including a plurality of thermal image pixels having pixel values corresponding to relative temperature values of objects in a real-world environment imaged by the thermal image pixels;
• classify, via a machine-learning trained classifier, one or more of the plurality of thermal image pixels as a set of thermal interest pixels corresponding to an object of interest;
• colorize the set of thermal interest pixels with a color selected based on a recognized class of the object of interest to give a colorized thermal image, the selected color being independent of the relative temperature values of the object of interest given by the pixel values of the thermal interest pixels;
• and
• display, via the near-eye display, the colorized thermal image with the set of thermal interest pixels colorized with the selected color.
