Thanks! This clarifies a lot.

- They use and combine both optical and LWIR data.

- They are able to split the IR signal into emissive and reflected, and thus measure the temperature and extract small variations (texture).

- They can get higher-res images using LWIR, and thus do (more) precise ranging using a stereo pair.

- Using the spectral information + some ML models, they are able to identify materials, and paint / augment pictures using this information.

That's actually impressive.
