Vehicle computing systems may receive and fuse long-wave infrared data with radar data to detect and track objects in low-visibility driving environments. In some examples, radar data including position and velocity data may be projected over infrared image data to detect, classify, and track infrared-emitting objects. Machine-learned transformer models with attention also may be trained to output object detections based on combined infrared and radar data. The fusion of infrared and radar data may be used individual and/or may be synchronized with other sensor modalities. In some examples, the fusion and analysis of infrared and radar data may be used in specific low-visibility driving environments, using low-light, fog, and shadowed areas of the environment, to detect and track infrared-emitting and/or moving objects such as pedestrians and animals that may be obscured from detection by other sensor modalities.
