The sample images captured by visual light and infrared thermal cameras under the same flight altitude and camera angle at night. The infrared thermal image readily identifies car and bicycle objects, while the visual light image faces difficulty in doing so. The results demonstrate the superior performance of infrared thermal cameras in enabling UAVs to perform tasks more effectively during nighttime operations.
