The present invention discloses an
infrared image-spectrum associated intelligent detection method and apparatus, including: first searching for targets in a
field of view (FOV), and performing image-spectrum associated intelligent identification sequentially on the searched targets, that is, first performing
infrared image target identification on each target, and if a detection
identification rate is greater than a set threshold, outputting an identification result and storing target image data; otherwise, acquiring an
infrared spectrum of the target, and performing target identification based on infrared spectrum features. The present invention further discloses an apparatus for performing target detection using the above method, and the apparatus mainly includes a two-dimensional
scanning mirror, a multiband infrared
optical module, a long-wave infrared (LWIR) imaging unit, a
broadband infrared spectrum measuring unit, and a
processing and
control unit. The method and apparatus of the present invention are improvements and enhancements of the conventional infrared target detection method and device, and may be used for
infrared image detection,
infrared image-spectrum associated detection of the target and infrared spectrum collection of the target. Compared with the conventional infrared detection device, the present invention has a higher
cost performance, and can significantly improve the detection
identification rate of the target.
