AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when the image background is single and the target intensity is high, the existing DBT algorithm can achieve better detection results
However, when the target intensity is weak, the size is small and the background clutter is strong, the detection performance of these algorithms drops significantly, and the false alarms mainly come from the edges of strong clutter in the image

Abstract

The invention discloses an infrared weak target detection method based on the foreground weighted local contrast. The method comprises steps that the new local contrast measure is proposed based on infrared imaging characteristics of a target, a neighborhood structure template is utilized to carry out window sliding pixel by pixel from top to bottom and left to right within an image, a local contrast value of each pixel is calculated according to the local contrast measure, a local contrast graph of the image is further acquired, and strong clutter edge inhibition is realized; secondly, foreground probability estimation of the pixels is introduced, the foreground probability estimation is taken as a weighting factor of the local contrast, a weighted local contrast graph of the image is acquired, and further strong clutter edge inhibition is realized; and lastly, weak target detection can be realized through simple threshold segmentation. The invention further provides a foreground weighted local contrast acceleration algorithm. The method has advantages of high detection rate, low false alarm rate and fast calculation speed.
