Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of infrared image processing, and particularly relates to a complex background adaptive target detection method and system based on space-time domain fusion. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, with the development of space-based infrared imaging technology, the application of infrared remote sensing images is becoming mature and widespread. China has vast sea areas, and the detection and reconnaissance of sea surface targets have practical needs in civil and military fields. Infrared images have all-weather and all-day observation capabilities, and the extraction of targets using infrared remote sensing imaging technology is a key issue of current concern.
[0003] Infrared remote sensing images have low resolution, and targets often occupy only a few pixel sizes, losing geometric and texture features. In complex backgrounds, targets and noise are easily confused, and flickering and discontinuity may occur in sequence images, increasing the difficulty of infrared ship detection.
[0004] The key technical points of the current mainstream target detection algorithm can be summarized into three categories: the first category is background prediction method to suppress background influence; the second category is to use target and background information for filtering segmentation; and the third category is to use constant false alarm rate related algorithm to determine the detection threshold. Among them, the commonly used background prediction algorithm is based on the isotropic idea, which is not good for complex background. The infrared small target background prediction model based on anisotropy proposed by Guo Hongwei considers the anisotropy of the background, but the division of the complex background stationary region and non-stationary region cannot meet the high-precision background prediction demand, affecting the target detection effect; typical methods of target and background filtering include morphological Top-Hat filtering, exponential homomorphic filtering, and high-pass filtering, etc. The morphological Top-Hat filtering and exponential homomorphic filtering enhance the image contrast, but do not eliminate the complex background information. The former may cause the cloud layer brightness in the background to be enhanced, making it difficult to distinguish the target from the background. The high-pass filtering method processed image is overall dark, and it is difficult to detect target information in the cloud layer background; the constant false alarm rate related algorithm may result in too low false alarm rate, missing detection, or too high false alarm rate, low target detection accuracy. SUMMARY

[0035] (3) performing difference on adjacent frames of the precisely registered images I1, I2, …In n to obtain a difference image I t = I t+1 -I twhere t = 1, 2, …, n-1 represents the image frame number.
[0036] (4) Calculate the difference image I t The eight-neighborhood gray level gradient of each pixel in the image I t is denoted as D(i, j), i and j are the row and column numbers of the image I t respectively, and their value ranges are i = 1, 2, …, M and j = 1, 2, …, N respectively.
[0037] (5) Traverse all pixels in the image I t (t = 1, 2, …, n-1) and calculate the minimum relative gradient of the eight-neighborhood of the pixel I t (i, j) where i = 1, 2, …, M and j = 1, 2, …, N.
[0038] (6) Replace the gray level of the image I t according to the minimum relative gradient D min (i, j) of the eight-neighborhood of the pixel I t (i, j), to obtain the image I f filtered by the minimum relative gray level gradient.
[0039] (7) Convolve the filtered image I f with the template W = [1 1 1 1; 1 4 4 1; 1 4 4 1; 1 1 1 1] to replace the pixel DN value of the target original image with the convolution result, to obtain the image I c = I f * W after neighborhood correlation target enhancement processing.
[0040] (8) Traverse the image pixel I c (i, j) after neighborhood correlation target enhancement processing using the double-window constant false alarm rate detection method to calculate the adaptive detection threshold Tr(i, j).
[0041] (9) Use the adaptive detection threshold Tr(i, j) to perform target detection and traverse the image I c , when I c (i, j) > Tr(i, j), determine that I c (i, j) is an initial target; when I c (i, j) ≤ Tr(i, j), determine that it is background.
[0042] (10) According to the morphological characteristics of the target, screen the initial targets in the image I c , and obtain the candidate target set t from the difference image I where t = 1, 2, …, n-1 represents the image frame number after difference, h t represents the image I t The number of candidate targets.
[0043] (11) The candidate target set generated by the sequence frame image after difference is further screened based on the principle of neighborhood decision method, and the screened target points are denoted as A1, A2…A nll , and the vectors constructed by the difference image frame numbers where the feature points exist are denoted as a1, a2…a nll , where nll is the number of retained target points.
[0044] (12) For the screened target points A1, A2…A nll , false alarm elimination is performed according to the inter-frame target similarity, and the final target points are denoted as B1, B2…B all , where all is the number of final determined target points.
[0045] In step (4), the calculation method of the eight-neighborhood gray gradient of the pixel I t (i, j) is as follows:
[0046]
[0047] where i and j are the row and column numbers of the image I t , D(i, j) represents the eight-neighborhood gray gradient of the pixel I t (i, j), and I t (i+w, j+v) represents the pixel DN value of the image I t at the coordinate position (i+w, j+v), where w=-1, 0, 1, v=-1, 0, 1, and w and v are intermediate parameters.

The equation indicates that when the minimum gray gradient D min (i,j) is less than or equal to the threshold value TH, I t (i,j) remains unchanged; when the minimum gray gradient D min (i,j) is greater than the threshold value TH, the DN value I t (i+w,j+v) of the minimum relative gray gradient direction corresponding pixel is used to replace I t (i,j). All pixels i=1,2,…,M,j=1,2,…,N are traversed to obtain the minimum relative gray gradient filtered image I f .

[0056] 2) Each pixel I c (i,j) in the neighborhood correlation target enhanced processed image I c is traversed, and the adaptive detection threshold in the double sliding window of the pixel I -1 (i,j) is calculated as:
[0057] Tr(i,j)=m(i,j)-Φ f (P c )σ(i,j)
[0058] where Tr(i,j) is the pixel Ic adaptive detection threshold of (i,j), P f is false alarm rate, take P f = 10 -3 , m(i,j), σ(i,j) are I c (i,j) decentering window (i.e. meet I c (i,j) ∈ W B and ) mean and standard deviation of all pixels within.
[0059] In step (10), the initial target in the image I c after the neighborhood correlation target enhancement processing is screened according to the target morphological characteristics to obtain a candidate target set, including:

[0062] Wherein, I mod is the morphological filtered image, H = [1 1; 1 1] is the structure element;
[0063] 2) Count the connected region area of the initial target corresponding position of the morphological filtered image I mod , according to the target characteristics, retain the target with an area greater than 3 pixels and less than 9 pixels, to obtain the morphological screened candidate target set.
[0064] In step (11), the further screening process of the candidate target set is as follows:

[0067] (113) Regarding the above-mentioned transition determination in the difference image Image I k If the target point exists in the neighborhood of its location, record the location of that target point in the difference image. If the position in the image is not found, the neighborhood range is doubled before proceeding to the determination in the difference image. Image I k Does the target point exist in the neighborhood of the target point's location?
[0068] (114) For the step (113) of the transfer to the difference image, Image I k If the target point exists in the neighborhood of its location, record the target in the difference image. The position in the image is then determined in the difference image. medium image Does the target point exist in the neighborhood of its location? If not, remove the target point.
[0069] (115) Using the difference image I k As the starting frame, according to the different cases in steps (112), (113), and (114), respectively, [the following steps are performed] to [the following frames]. Calculate in both directions sequentially until n-1 frames of difference image calculation are completed, and record the retained target points A1, A2...A nll The vectors constructed from the differential image frame numbers are denoted as a1, a2, ... a1. nll Their vector lengths are l1, l2…l nll Then the filtered target points A1, A2...A nll The frames that appear are a1, a2...a nll The corresponding set of difference images is Where nll is the final number of target points retained.
[0070] In step (12), the inter-frame target similarity false alarm removal process is as follows:
[0071] (121) For target point A c Select the target point in frame number a c That is, difference image The target region is a window of size α = 3×3, denoted as [missing information]. Where c represents the target point number, satisfying 1≤c≤null.
[0072] (122) Calculate the difference image of the above with respect to the target point A. c Correlation coefficient:
[0073]
