적외선 소형 표적 검출을 위한 배경 제거 방법

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The detection of small targets in infrared images is one of the most important issues in military field such as Infrared search and tracking(IRST) system. However, it is difficult task to accurately detect small targets in complex background with various clutters. In this paper, a new method of background suppression is proposed for detecting small targets in infrared images with complex background including various clutters. In the proposed method, a high order statistical filter is applied to eliminate the non-linear temperature distribution caused by atmosphere radiation effects. Subsequently, one-dimensional highpass filter is performed on each line along the horizontal and vertical direction. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance in terms of background suppression than the existing methods.
