title: Transform RGB image to *look like* Infrared
body: <p>Context: I'm trying to improve a pose estimation model so that it works better when my camera is in Infrared mode. Unfortunately I only have RGB images to train on. </p>
  
  <p>I realize that you can't convert RGB to IR directly, but my hypothesis is that converting the RGB images to look more like IR, and then training on a dataset of combined RGB and IR images, will lead to better performance.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any libraries that have tried to implement a function like this? I'm essentially looking for a function that something like this ("IR effect") - <a href="http://funny.pho.to/infrared/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://funny.pho.to/infrared/</a></p>
