The invention provides a highlight target identification method based on a
dung beetle optimization
algorithm and an adaptive threshold segmentation
algorithm, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the
Gaussian filtering of continuous frames of active and passive images to remove a part of
noise, and carrying out the morphological opening operation to reduce the
noise and maintain the feature size of a target; then registering the images, eliminating the image average gray difference of the active image and the passive image caused by the influence of active light illumination by using image difference operation, and preliminarily extracting a possible target area; then optimizing the maximum between-cluster variance by using a
dung beetle optimization
algorithm to determine a difference
image segmentation threshold value, binarizing the difference image, and further extracting a target candidate region; for the candidate target area, the highlight target is identified by adopting comprehensive shape measurement of circularity and eccentricity, and the method has higher detection accuracy; the efficient search mechanism of the
dung beetle optimization algorithm meets the real-time requirement, and the
processing speed is higher; the method is suitable for actual scenes with uneven illumination and complex
noise, and has higher robustness.
