Abstract: Highlights•A mutual flare mask prediction module that predicts the flare mask through flare-affected RGB and NI modalities.•A flare-aware enhancement module that enhances masked RGB and NI features using flare-immunized TI information.•A multi-modal consistency loss to enhance semantic consistency in multi-spectral vehicle under intense flare.•A more realistic and comprehensive large-scale Wild Multi-spectral Vehicle Re-ID dataset WMVeID863.
