Abstract

A device implementing a system for providing predicted RGB images includes at least one processor configured to obtain an infrared image of a subject, and to obtain a reference RGB image of the subject. The at least one processor is further configured to provide the infrared image and the reference RGB image to a machine learning model, the machine learning model having been trained to output predicted RGB images of subjects based on infrared images and reference RGB images of the subjects. The at least one processor is further configured to provide a predicted RGB image of the subject based on output by the machine learning model.
