Abstract
- Small infrared (IR) target detection is an important and challenging issue in IR target tracking system. In this paper, a patch ordering-based method is proposed for small IR target detection in an image with complicated background. Inspired by the contrast mechanism of human vision system, a patch ordering-based contrast measure (POCM) is designed to deal with the input image, which cannot only suppress the background noise and clutter but also enhance the targets significantly. In this way, POCM can increase the contrast ratio between target and background. This leads to higher Signal Clutter Ratio (SCR). Then the true target can be detected by applying simple adaptive thresholding method. The experimental results on two sequences show that the proposed method can efficiently detect small IR target from heavy clutter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
