从感官观测中推断隐藏物理属性是机器感知的核心挑战。热成像因其温度演变直接由传热物理决定,能编码场景的热物性信息,因而尤为有前景。从热观测中恢复空间分辨的热物性,将变革数字孪生、基础设施监测、机器人与科学成像等应用。然而,现有热场景重建方法可在复杂3D环境中恢复温度场,却无法识别控制热演化的热物性;而逆向方法虽提供物理可解释的参数估计,但通常依赖简化几何与受控实验条件。本文提出ThermoField框架,通过可微分传热模拟统一热场景重建与热物性估计。该框架将相关量表示为空间变化的神经场,并通过场景几何、传热物理规律及时间热观测进行约束。结果表明,ThermoField可联合重建几何、估计空间变化热扩散率,并预测未见过环境下的热演化。通过融合神经场景表示与可微分传热求解器,该框架在复杂3D场景中实现了物理可解释的参数反演,建立了热场景重建与逆传热分析之间的桥梁,为热观测提供了一体化几何重建、热物性估计与预测模拟的方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Inferring latent physical properties from sensory observations is a fundamental challenge in machine perception. Among available sensing modalities, thermal imaging is particularly promising because temperature evolution is directly governed by heat-transfer physics and therefore encodes information about underlying thermophysical properties of a scene. Recovering spatially resolved thermophysical properties from thermal observations could transform applications ranging from digital twins and infrastructure monitoring to robotics and scientific imaging. However, existing thermal scene reconstruction methods can recover temperature fields in complex 3D environments without identifying the thermophyiscal properties that govern thermal evolution, whereas inverse methods provide physically interpretable parameter estimation but typically rely on simplified geometries and controlled experimental conditions. Here we introduce ThermoField, a framework that unifies thermal scene reconstruction and thermophysical parameter estimation through differentiable heat-transfer simulation. The proposed framework represents these quantities as spatially varying neural fields and constrains them through scene geometry, governing heat-transfer physics, and temporal thermal observations. We demonstrate that ThermoField jointly reconstructs geometry, estimates spatially varying thermal diffusivity, and predicts thermal evolution under previously unseen environmental conditions. By integrating neural scene representations with differentiable heat-transfer solver, the framework enables physically interpretable parameter inference in complex 3D scenes. Our results establish a bridge between thermal scene reconstruction and inverse heat-transfer analysis, providing a unified approach for geometry reconstruction, thermophysical property estimation, and predictive thermal simulation from thermal observations.
