Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of infrared image processing, and in particular to an infrared segmented dual-platform histogram enhancement method based on redistribution. Background Art

[0002] Infrared imaging is the process of obtaining image information by receiving infrared thermal radiation from the scene through an infrared detector. Unlike visible light imaging, it has extremely unique imaging characteristics and belongs to passive imaging. In nature, the temperature difference between the environment and the target is constantly changing. When the temperature difference is small, the target in the infrared image is easily submerged in the environment; when the temperature difference is large, the contrast of the target in the infrared image is very low. In order to improve the quality of infrared images and enhance the image contrast, a histogram-based method is often used to process the original image data. Although the traditional histogram equalization algorithm can effectively stretch the grayscale range, it is indeed easy to cause excessive background enhancement and the problem of unclear target contrast enhancement. The dual-platform histogram equalization algorithm overcomes excessive background enhancement by setting the upper platform value and improves the target contrast by setting the lower platform value, but the selection of the two platform values ​​is crucial. At present, the general platform value adopts a fixed method, with the upper platform value using about 20% of the total pixels and the lower platform value using about 5% of the total pixels. Therefore, it cannot meet the infrared scene that changes all the time and has poor robustness. Summary of the invention
