The computing device further determines a first modification protocol for the first set of pixels and determines a second modification protocol for the second set of pixels. In response, the computing device generates a recursive modification input based upon the first and second modification protocols.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for thermal contrast determinations are provided. An example imaging system includes a first infrared (IR) imaging device that generates first IR image data of a field of view of the first IR imaging device and a computing device connected with the first IR imaging device.
