Abstract: A method for determining at least one property related to at least part of a real environment comprises receiving a first image of a first part of a real environment captured by a first camera, wherein the first camera is a thermal camera and the first image is a thermal image and the first part of the real environment is a first environment part, providing at least one description related to at least one class of real objects, wherein the at least one description includes at least one thermal property related to the at least one class of real objects, receiving a second image of the first environment part and of a second part of the real environment captured by a second camera, wherein the second part of the real environment is a second environment part, providing an image alignment between the first image and the second image, determining, for at least one second image region contained in the second image, at least one second probability according to the image alignment, pixel information of the first image, and the at least one description, wherein the at least one second probability relates to the at least one class of real objects, and wherein the at least one second image region comprises at least part of the first environment part, determining at least one image feature derived from pixel information of at least one third image region contained in the second image according to the at least one second probability, wherein the at least one third image region comprises at least part of the second environment part, and performing at least one computer vision method to determine at least one property related to at least part of the second environment part according to the determined at least one image feature.
