Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of infrared technology applications, and specifically relates to an infrared small and weak target detection method, system, device and medium based on dual-band color ratio residual fusion. Background Technique

[0002] Passive infrared detection systems are concealable and can provide a considerable detection range. However, modern low-observable targets generally adopt technologies such as infrared stealth, making the detectable signals extremely weak. In particular, infrared stealth technology greatly reduces the infrared signature signals of targets through advanced infrared stealth measures such as using turbofan engines, changing the shape and direction of the exhaust system, installing infrared baffle plates, improving fuel composition, adding special combustion agents, and using heat-absorbing and heat-insulating materials.

[0003] Existing infrared detection systems mainly operate within a single band of the infrared window. Using the average radiation energy within the band can only complete the detection of conventional targets, and the detection range is severely limited. Since when the detection range increases, the received radiation energy value decreases, and the interference of background clutter will become very obvious. Therefore, the detection and recognition of weak infrared signals in complex backgrounds face huge challenges.

[0004] Existing infrared stealth technologies focus on suppressing the infrared radiation intensity of targets within specific infrared bands and cannot guarantee the suppression effect within the entire infrared spectrum range, which provides a key technical breakthrough for the infrared detection and extraction of low-observable targets.

[0005] Chinese patent application with the publication number CN201711303933.8 discloses an infrared target detection method based on an improved Tri-edge operator.
