Recent progress in computational photography has shown that we can acquire physical information beyond visible (RGB) image representations. In particular, we can acquire near-infrared (NIR) cues with only slight modification to any standard digital camera. In this paper, we study whether this extra channel can improve semantic image segmentation. Based on a state-of-the-art segmentation framework and a novel manually segmented image database that contains 4-channel images (RGB+NIR), we study how to best incorporate the specific characteristics of the NIR response. We show that it leads to improved performances for 7 classes out of 10 in the proposed dataset and discuss the results with respect to the physical properties of the NIR response.
